⚠️ Cultural Glenkens Events – Postponed

With the Amber weather warning in place and recommendations that people only travel for essential journeys, we have regretfully decided to postpone tomorrow’s Cultural Glenkens events:

❌ Galloway Conversations: Straaofreggan Final Update Talk

❌ Autumnal Birdwatching Walk

❌ WITCH! Restoring the Women They Tried to Erase: Imagining Remembrance

We’ll be back in touch as soon as we have a new date and time arranged, and we really hope some of you will still be able to join us.

Anyone who has booked a ticket should also hear directly from CatStrand.

Thank you for your understanding and stay safe. ❤️

DO NOT PASS GO / Jordan & Skinner
CatStrand, New Galloway, DG7 3RN
7:30 pm Wed 28th Oct

We heart Lizzie Magie! Feminist, economist, disruptor, and games designer who wanted to show the world there was an alternative to capitalist greed. But her beautiful brainchild was stolen, repurposed, and made a man a millionaire. Discover the hidden truth behind one of the world’s most popular board games, as we search for justice for Lizzie and for all who find the game is rigged against them.
Award-winning theatre company Jordan & Skinner bring their original and irreverent style of physical theatre and comedy to this epic story of women, games and money.

All performances include integrated BSL performed by a member of the cast.

Age Recommendation 14+
