COMMUNITY SUPPORT
Lanark has whole heaps of events and

entertainment and happenings going on all the
time, and often we never hear about them...until
its too late. So everyone thought that it would
be a good idea to bring all those events and
entertainments and happenings together so that they
could be presented in a way that everyone could get to know about
them all... in time!
This leaflet/brochure should have almost everything thats going on in
the town from 21 November until Christmas Eve, from the Winter Market
to the Panto, from Late Night Opening in our shops to the Horse Parade
and Taste of Lanark, from carols and music to arts and dancing, from
the Memorial Hall events to New Lanark events to Church events - and
lots lots more.
YOU are invited to come and join in the festivities its YOU who make
the whole festival, YOU who give it the festive atmosphere, YOU who
make the whole thing worthwhile...and if YOU all support this first
organised Winterfest, we hope it will become a bigger and bigger
annual event in the Lanark calendar!
ENJOY!
I am extremely pleased that a number of groups

in the Town have got together to bring a festival
of fun in Lanark and New Lanark over a 3
week period in Winter. This is just the start
and I hope we get a good feedback from
people in the area. A lot of effort has gone
into the programme and I hope we can get
the backing from the Town and surrounding
villages to enable us to repeat this in the
Spring.

music live in concert as well as performing alongside James Brown, BB King, Dennis
Edwards of The Temptations, Dan Ackroyd and many more!

Saturday 21st November
Lights on for Christmas

Lanark High Street, FREE
It might seem a bit contradictory to suggest that the
first Lanark Winter Festival will be bigger, bonnier
and better than ever before, but let me explain!
Many of the component parts of our Festival have
been on the go for many years now, including the
Christmas Market and Lights On Event, which kicks off
the Winter Festival on Saturday 21st November.
This is a flexible date because our lights are installed by SLC who provide this service
for every community in the county and so we must await their timetable for these
events before setting our date. This we are happy to do because in the process SLC
also provide us with many added in-kind benefits that contribute much to making this
day the consistently huge success it always is.

The Lanimer Queen and Santa Claus will switch on the Christmas
Lights at 4.45pm, bringing this wonderful event to a close, but
Im getting ahead of myself!
The High Street is sealed off in the wee small hours after
the last merry reveller has ambled his/her way home from
the office shindig! By 10am the High Street is awash with a
wide variety of traders stalls catering for every (legal) taste
and preference. On display will be exquisite wines; gourmet
foods; delightfull gifts; unique art; and much, much more. A
long queue will form near the Tolbooth and will not lessen until
the last Arbroath Smokie has been devoured.

A wealth of local talent including members of I.C.E., Lanark Panto,
LAMS and many more will, as a prelude to a professional group of entertainers,
perform all afternoon at the bottom of the High St, while a range of childrens
amusements will be sited at the top.
Santa and his elves will perambulate from top (3.45pm) to bottom (4.45pm) of the
High Street, doling out sweets (its legal, we checked!), having a chat with many
dozens of children and providing the opportunity for photo ops (and
selfies) for all.
Try it for yourself!

10am to 2pm, RE:store, FREE
Pop along to The RE:store, 15 High Street Lanark 10:00 until 14:00
and try amazing Frenchic furniture paint products, free of charge.

MacBraveheart TWO :
The Other Scottish Play
12/10 concession
Rooted in the past of a dystopian preindependence future - that means a minimalist set
littered with industrial remnants and a broken toilet
- Scotlands greatest heroes, Wallace, Bruce and
Burns, are tempted by their inner demons to confront
their outer Hebrides. Lust, power, treachery, betrayal...
sorry, have I just given away the ending?
This epic production exposes the true price of freedom - its
not just something you can pick up in Lidls - whilst treading the fine line between dark,
visceral theatre and disappearing up ones own backside!
Differs script is fast-paced, punchy and foul-mouthed and keeps the laughs coming.
The Scotsman
Brilliantly written and delivered with perfect comic timing. Hilarious. The List
Differ manages in well under an hour to lampoon Macbeth, Braveheart, Burns,
Salmond, the independence movement, the language (You have to look at the bigger
pilchard) and, with rampant anachronisms and modern references, the whole genre of
historical drama. An uninterrupted delight! The Stage

St Andrews Day Tea

with Alastair McDonald
1:30pm, Lanark Memorial Hall, 6
Needing no introduction to many, Alastair is one of
Scotlands favourite showbiz personalities. A highly
talented international performer, singer, song-writer,
recording artist and broadcaster, he is equally at
home in a jazz club, folk club, variety show, theatre
or concert hall and is a well-known face on Scottish
television. His concert programme can vary from a Scottish
historical ballad to a humorous music hall ditty, and from a
Gaelic lament to a hand clapping American Negro Gospel song. Not mere versatility
for its own sake, but rather a genuine desire to share some of the very best songs and
personal favourites.
Following his sell out appearance at Lanark earlier this year we invite you to come
along and celebrate St Andrews Day with a tea and cake in the company of a Scottish
showbiz legend!
Tickets: 6.00 available from 01555 667999 or www.sllcboxoffice.co.uk

Jack and the Beanstalk - Lanark Panto Club

7:30pm, Lanark Memorial Hall, TICKET PRICE 10/8
Pantomime is different! Indeed, among the many wonderful forms of the performing
arts, pantomime is unique! Pantomime audiences enjoy the fun, laughter and music
of the show as much as any audience. But they do so much more than that! At
pantomime the audiences not only span the generations (age doesnt matter to the
young at heart), they play a major part in the show as well! Pantomime audiences
participate! (Oh Yes they do!).
Lanark Panto Club is also unique! Here we have a large group of local amateurs, now
spanning several generations, who annually put on a very professional show. This year
that professional show is Jack & The Beanstalk.
If youve been before, and thousands of you have, come back and be young at heart
again. If you were brought as a child, bring along your own kids or grandkids now
and let them experience the joy and laughter that you did as a child. If you havent
been before, dont be a couch potato and come along this year! If youre going on a
Caribbean Cruise and cant be there this year, put it on your bucket list for next year.
We can guarantee one thing for sure; you wont regret it and youll go home younger
and happier than you arrived!
PS: We are legally obliged to issue all newcomers with a formal health warning; Lanark
Panto Club shows can be seriously addictive!

Lets Drift Drifter Review

13.50/12.50 concession
Following on from the fabulous evening of
entertainment at Lanark Memorial Hall in
2014,when many of the band performed as The
Driftars, the guys are back with a brand new show
to play tribute to some of the best music ever
performed! Featuring artists such as The Drifters,
The Four Tops, Stevie Wonder, The OJays, and Wilson
Pickett, this is sure to be a night to remember.
The Ultimate Drifters band members, who have over 20 years experience in the music
business, are committed to keeping alive the legacy and sounds of great soul music.
Amazingly authentic and on a par with any world class act, the guys love of the music
comes across strongly and the show is a guaranteed floor filler that will have the
audience dancing and singing in the aisles.
A cracker of a Christmas night out!

We seek groups of fun loving folk from far and wide to enter
teams in our Silver Bell Soapbox Challenge. From young
teenagers eager to grow up to the more mature but wannabee
teenagers who resolutely refuse to grow up!
The event will be staged on Sunday 26th September 2016 down a 400
metre course (Lanark High Street) to finish - if they survive that long at Lanark Cross. That is when those intrepid lunatics of Lanark Rugby
Club, in partnership with the slightly saner, but seriously eccentric,
members of Lanark Community Development Trust will launch this first
annual event.
The concept and popularity of such events have been well established
by the energy drinks company Red Bull in capital cities all over the
world and we intend to emulate their success in Scotland in Lanark.
For a flavour of the event, check out Red Bull Soapbox Races on
youtube.
So! Are you a budding Lewis Hamilton? Have you the engineering skills
to compete with Mercedes and Ferrari? Have you the imagination to
create a themed entry? Have you the skill set to organise a bunch of
happy-go-lucky extroverts into a team? Have you got any friends in the
first place? Are they impervious to pain and humiliation?
All funds accruing by year three we hope will be shared equally
by the two organisations. LRC will spend their share on the ongoing
development of a School of Rugby at Colts Team at LGS. LCDT will
allocate their share to the development of a Skate/BMX/Roller Blade
Park in Lanark.
For further information and entry forms etc please contact;
john@silverbellsoapbox.com and/or iain@silverbellsoapbox.com
www.lanark.co.uk 29
GET INVOLVED!
We hope you enjoy Winterfest 2015, but we at LCDT are already
looking ahead to Winterfest 2016 and we want you to be a part
of it!
If you have a club, group, organisation or buisness and would like to
participate in Winterfest 2016 either running workshops, events or selling
your goods please get in touch with us at lanarkfestivals@aol.co.uk
We are also looking for individuals to join us for craft fayres and events
throughout the festival period. All we require is your name, a description
of your craft and a contact e-mail.
Not only will this give you the oppertunity to be involved in Winterfest, but
also in the popular Wallace Festival, which will now take place over three
weeks in May 2016. Your inclusion in the programme is free, following
Lanark Community Development Trusts vision to enhance our community
through involvement in the arts, bringing together people from all walks
of life and hopefully inspiring future generations.
