The Kingdom of Camelot is a dull and dreary place to live! At least that’s how King Uther feels. Merlin the Magician tries to keep things running smoothly but Morgana has her eyes on the throne and will stop atnothing to claim it. Using her witchy powers, together with her frustrating nephew Mordred, she plans to get rid of King Uther and his son Arthur. Will Morgana seize the throne of Camelot for her own cruel and selfish reign or will Arthur vanquish her evil and claim his rightful place as King? Come to the show to find out and help our heroes save Camelot! ‘King Arthur’ the Panto is a fun and energetic show full of songs, dances and plenty of jokes for the whole family! Buy tickets
St Andrews Charity Ball (26 November)
The St. Andrew’s Society of NL was formed in 1985. Its aims are to promote Scottish culture and, by doing so, raise funds for charities in Scotland and The Netherlands. The principal occasion, St. Andrew’s Day [30th Nov] is celebrated in traditional formal style with St. Andrew’s Ball. The dances we do may not be familiar to you, but don’t worry – they have a “caller” – that’s what the Scots call the dance teacher who walks, and talks, you through each dance before you do it.
