EVENTS

Bay City Rollers // 3 Dec

Tree Dressing // 6 Dec

The Bay City Rollers Story is a celebration
of those hectic days of hit songs, touring,
TV shows and the behind-the-scenes
pandemonium that followed the band
everywhere they went. Renewed Les
McKeown has come through the extreme
highs and lows of life’s great road and
he is here to tell us all about it. All the hit
songs are featured including “Bye Bye
Baby”, “Shang A Lang”, “Summer Love
Sensation” and “Give A Little Love”. A
fantastic night of fun and nostalgia as you take a trip back to those
innocent days of growing up to the sounds of The Bay City Rollers.

A magical occasion for all the family,
celebrating the importance of trees
in our lives. Join in traditional songs
and dances, turn a jam jar into a
lantern and join the procession
illuminated by hundreds of lanterns
before dressing the trees as
darkness falls.
