Tree Felling in wood to the west of Garvald park
A selective thinning of trees is due to begin week commencing 25th October. The intention is to remove mainly sycamore and pine, leaving a selection of better quality hardwoods, primarily beech. This work will also address the trees that were (partially) blown down last winter following the removal of trees to the south of Papana Water. The wood will be closed for the duration of this work. Sorry for any inconvenience.

The date is the 5th December from 4.30 pm onwards so please put that date in your diary and look out for anything you could donate to the raffle. More details coming soon.

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.
