Once a month, when schools close their doors on a Friday afternoon, families can head over to Abbotsford for Family Fridays!

Explore the different chapters of Abbotsford’s history through an exciting selection of activity sheets, trails, or other activities which will be available for families to pick up and enjoy together. Whether wonderful worksheets about wildlife, tremendous trails about tall tales, each month there’s something new for families to pick up and enjoy together!

This November join Abbotsford for Symbols of Scotland. Did you know that St Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland?
