Join us in Abernethy Forest for a behind the scenes masterclass with Cairngorms Connect Venison. Together we will experience the whole journey, from forest to fork:

• Cairngorms Connect deer stalkers will talk about the methods, equipment, ethics and sustainability of deer stalking for conservation management and will demonstrate lardering the deer.
• A local butcher will then teach us about butchering, all the different cuts of meat and what they are best used for, and you can even have a go yourself.
• We will then settle down in the tepee at the Dell of Abernethy for a live cooking demo by a local professional chef, discovering unusual venison dishes and different ways to incorporate venison easily into our diet; before finally tasting all the dishes.

When: Thursday, 15th of June, 5:30 pm – 9:30 pm
