The Attic

11am & 3pm I £4.50, conc. £3.50 Come up the stairs, blow away the cobwebs and peep into the boxes. Who knows what might happen when the sleepy attic comes to life? Grandma and Lucy are up in the attic where all the memories are stored.

Hidden in dusty containers at the top of the house, they have been waiting a long time to come out and play.

“spellbinding fun for little ones.”

The Herald

Midge Ure Uncovered 7.30pm I £15 Midge Ure really needs no introduction; his career speaks for itself. Grammys, Ivor Novellos, BASCAPs, gold and platinum discs and a variety of other accolades all grace his mantelpiece.

The Uncovered show gives him the chance to explore his musical roots and share some of the anecdotes and journeys that his career has followed. This intimate acoustic show combines a selection of his own hits, from Vienna via If I Was to Dancing with Tears in My Eyes, with some of his favourite songs sung by other artists such as Queen, Travis and Fleetwood Mac.
