The Pairty

The Pairty

26 Feb 2027 - 27 Feb 2027

The Pairty Returns to East Kilbride: Bigger, Brighter and Ready for Hogmanay Magic. Following their completely sold‑out run at the East Kilbride Arts Centre in 2026, The Pairty is set to return to EK, this time taking to the stage of the Village Theatre in February 2027. The much‑loved Glasgow play, produced by Purple Daisy Chain Productions, promises even more laughter, heart and nostalgia as it brings Castlemilk of the late 1960s vividly back to life. Set in Castlemilk, 1968, the story follows four women and one very work‑shy janny, as they prepare their local community centre for a Hogmanay celebration their families will never forget. With humour, honesty and a good dose of Glasgow spirit, the play blends comedy, emotion and song into a night that audiences have described as "powerful", "real" and "completely brilliant". Written by Lynne Beaton and directed by Dave Bennet, The Pairty struck a deep chord with audiences earlier this year.
