February

CHinese state circus
The Palace & Grand Hall Complex, Kilmarnock

chinese state circusChinese State Circus

From the land of legends and warrior Shaolin monks comes the incredible new Chinese State Circus production - the live acrobatic spectacular Yin Yang.

To say the Chinese State Circus is merely a show is grossly to underestimate it; it is the embodiment of a traditional art form which can trace its history back over 2000 years. The presentation lives and breathes with the enthusiasm of its acrobatic artistes.

The result is the purest, honest, most abiding and exhilarating circus that is a true privilege to see. The undisputed masters of physical theatre will have the audience enthralled with a breathtaking fusion of precision acrobatics, martial arts and dazzling circus skills - entertainment for the whole family.

Tickets £15 - £30

the attic
The Palace & Grand Hall Complex, Kilmarnock

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.

For children aged 3 - 5, their parents and carers.

"spell-binding fun for little ones." The Herald
