Looking Ahead

February and March 2027 are shaping up to be exciting months in Ambleside and Dundarave, with three great ADBIA initiatives designed to bring people into our villages, support local businesses, and encourage everyone to shop, dine, and explore close to home!

We kick things off with our inaugural Hot Chocolate Festival (February 1–14), inviting visitors to warm up with creative, delicious and perhaps a little unexpected hot chocolate creations from participating local businesses. From February 15–28, we are bringing back Dine the Villages for its second year, celebrating the wonderful restaurants and culinary experiences that make Ambleside and Dundarave such great places to dine.

Then, throughout the entire month of March, BIA Bucks returns! Now a well-loved annual initiative, our popular program gives shoppers another reason to support local businesses, with an extra incentive to shop, eat, and spend locally.

Three great initiatives, two wonderful villages and plenty of reasons to get out and enjoy everything Ambleside and Dundarave have to offer. We look forward to making February and March a little more delicious while showing our local businesses some love!

Stay tuned for more details in upcoming newsletters and on our Instagram and Facebook pages. We willl be sharing participating businesses, special offerings and all the details as each event gets closer!
