The National Piping Centre

I would highly recommend this venue for any celebration! From the moment we booked the Piping Centre for our joint 30th/60th birthday party, the staff were incredibly helpful, professional, and friendly. The level of customer service was outstanding, and we have no reservations in recommending this venue to others. The auditorium looked amazing when it was decorated for the event, and all of our guests were very impressed.

The Cullen Skink was incredibly tasty - a generous bowl of hot fish, potatoes, onions, and cream. Unfortunately, the following course of Bonnie Prince Charlie chicken was lacking in both quantity and flavor, and the carrots were so tough that my fork couldn't pierce them. It was disappointing after such a delicious starter.

Little known wedding venue, the Piping Centre caters for small and large weddings. We went small, had the ceremony in the auditorium, drinks in the museum and dinner in the restaurant. It was everything we hoped it would be, expect the food was even better.

My daughter had her long delayed (due to covid) evening wedding reception. The organisers were extremely helpful in the lead up to the event as I had two meetings with them and they also responded immediately to e mail queries. The hall looked great as they dimmed the lights and the bar was well staffed on the night. The evening ran like clockwork and the buffet was also delicious. I would definitely book the Piping Centre again if I had another big celebration.

We are six Canadian rugby mates who enjoyed our Come Try experience at the National Piping Centre. It did not involve food. Instead, we were given a wee tour of the history of the bagpipe by Jamie and then we went through an embarrassing but very fun lesson on how to play a bagpipe. If there's as tougher instrument to play, I don't know what it is. We really recommend this experience it gives you a n excellent perspective of this powerful and historic instrument. Strong recommendation for small groups looking for a unique experience.
