Here are the latest attractions that are coming to the Strathpeffer Pavillion in the spring and summer of 2023. I’ve copied the new events from their site because they didn’t email me a list as they usually do this year, they too seem to forgotten about the existence of their village website.

Is it pavilion or pavillion?
My spell checker underlines the double L version in red.

But I reckon, in the case of the Strathpeffer Spa Pavillion, the double L is just fine.
