    A Garvald Village Christmas

    Continuing the tradition which we started last year, there will be an outdoor Christmas Social event on

    Sunday 5th December between 4.30 pm and 6.30 pm

    • Start off with a wander through the Village Hall admiring the artwork on display…..see below….
    • Buy loads of tickets for the Christmas raffle in aid of Edinburgh Royal Infirmary ICU
    • Collect your soup and sausage roll from the kitchen – a bargain at £3 per adult
    • Stroll out to the orchard to eat them and sit under the solar-powered fairy lights ( we’re doing our bit for the climate!) while listening to music provided by the youngsters.
    • They’ll be playing in our fancy new gazebo
    • Enjoy a glass of mulled wine, a mince pie and a good chat
    • Wear your Santa hats, antlers, fairy lights, tinsel and wrap up warm
    • Celebrate outrageously when you win some bubble-bath
    • And if that’s not enough you can even wind up with a visit to the Garvald Inn

    It would be ideal to get some numbers in advance. Please put your soup money in an envelope and deliver to Anne at The Old School with a note of how many in your family group are coming. PLEASE try to let us know by 3rd December. Or else complete the contact form on the website.

    Now about that artwork – we have contacted some local artists who will put up some art……but we would like as many children/fun-loving adults as possible to paint/draw/build with Lego/construct with junk/write a poem/make a Christmas card – whatever you like – and bring it to the hall on 4th December between 10 am and 12 noon . Every artist will be rewarded with a chocolate Santa…..irresistible!

        CHRISTMAS DINNER
        By Robert Alan Evans
        Directed by Gill Robertson

        Age suitability 5+ years. No interval.

        After a horrible year, stage hand Lesley has decided that Christmas should be cancelled. The only festive joy she wants is the turkey sandwich in her lunch box. So she is shutting down the theatre, turning off the lights, packing up the glitter curtains, the giant beanstalk, the fake snow and going home to have dinner alone…

        But as the bells of St Cuthbert’s strike twelve, it seems the theatre has other ideas… from the back of the costume cupboard, a troupe of festive spirits emerge with an absolute sack full of festive cheer. Is this the last thing Lesley needs? Or can this strange Christmas Gang and their stories help her feel the magic of Christmas again?

        Join us for a feast of fun for everyone (even Lesley!) and make The Lyceum Christmas magic part of your family celebration this year.

        Christmas Dinner is a Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh and Catherine Wheels Theatre Company co-production.
