About the Darra Centre

Client Testimonials

• As Director of Ideas In Partnership and co-ordinator or Turriff and District Limited, I have used the Darra Centre and found it to be a very relaxing conference space, but with very professional facilities built in. It was easy to book and the staff were efficient and friendly." Carolyn Maniukiewicz
• We at Turriff Baptist Church are very fortunate to enjoy the facilities at Darra Centre and it is a pleasure to express our appreciation for the spacious area where we hold our Sunday services and the separate area where the children meet for their Sunday School Church and the tea and coffee facilities where we relax and socialise after the services. It is a brilliant centre for anyone.
• Darra Conference Centre, run by June and Donald Smith, just outside Turriff is a much needed facility in the Turriff and district area. It offers an excellent meeting room with overhead screen and comfortable seating area for relaxation and social gathering. Our Company has used the Darra facility for staff training purposes, thereby saving loss of days and man hours by not having to send people down south to England. Other areas of expertise that Mr & Mrs Smith are involved in is Investors in People (IIP) and Business Enterprise, helping small firms such as ourselves to achieve IIP accreditation. As well as meeting the business needs of the district, this facility is also able to cater for the public at large in respect of private functions such as wedding anniversaries, birthday parties etc. All in all, an excellent facility and well recommended. Rose Logan, Director, North East Boiler Sales & Services Ltd, Turriff
