What's on in Sandbank

Argyll and Bute, Scotland

Share:X / TwitterFacebookWhatsApp

Quiz nights where the debate over question 7 lasts longer than the quiz itself. Coffee mornings that turn into proper natter sessions. Craft fairs where you'll actually find something worth buying instead of the usual tat. That's Sandbank, and we've got it all listed — from book clubs to bingo, farmers' markets to film screenings. The sort of events where you'll probably bump into someone you know, which is either brilliant or your worst nightmare depending on whether you've been dodging Dave from the parish council.

Tartan Noir with Professor David Wilson and Martin Frizell

Tartan Noir with Professor David Wilson and Martin Frizell

Professor David Wilson and Martin Frizell explore the myths of tartan noir and examine the realities of Scottish crime. What happens when the stories we tell about crime become more powerful than the reality? Join criminologist Professor David Wilson and journalist Martin Frizell for an engaging evening exploring some of Scotland’s most talked-about crimes – and the stories that have grown up around them. Drawing on decades of experience in journalism and criminology, the evening looks at why certain crimes continue to grip public attention, how “tartan noir” has shaped Scotland’s reputation, and where the reality of crime differs from its portrayal in books, television, and true crime culture. Through cases including Bible John, Peter Tobin, Dennis Nilsen, Robert Black, the Dunblane massacre, organised crime in Scotland, and the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, the discussion moves beyond headlines to ask what these stories really tell us about violence, fear, and society. Alongside the cases themselves, Frizell and Wilson explore: Why serial killers feature so heavily in Scottish crime fiction despite being rare in reality How Scotland went from being labelled the “murder capital of Europe” to experiencing historically low homicide rates The impact of crime dramas and true crime on public attitudes to masculinity, punishment, and justice Thoughtful, accessible, and often surprising, True Crime Tartan Noir invites audiences to reflect on the difference between myth and...

A Home for Hamish - Doors 2.30pm

A Home for Hamish is a colourful, immersive and interactive adventure for young audiences aged 4-7 and their families. “Playfully merging dance and British Sign language in a sensory world, A Home for Hamish follows the story of May and their imaginary friend, Hamish the Haggis as they travel across Scotland to find a perfect night’s sleep.” Home for Hamish is aimed at family audiences, offering an engaging, inclusive theatre experience that appeals to children and adults alike. The show is designed to be accessible to both deaf and hearing audiences, with British Sign Language (BSL) fully integrated into the performance as a natural part of the storytelling. Home for Hamish is also thoughtfully designed with Autistic audiences in mind, creating a supportive environment where everyone can feel comfortable and included. With relaxed performances and a welcoming atmosphere, the production embraces neurodivergent experiences and aims to ensure that Autistic children and their families can enjoy the magic of live theatre together, without stress or pressure. Set against the backdrop of a journey around Scotland, Home for Hamish also holds strong local appeal, celebrating familiar places and shared cultural touchpoints in a way that feels welcoming and recognisable. The production invites families of all backgrounds and access needs to enjoy a shared experience that is fun, meaningful, and fully inclusive – without separating BSL theatre from typical theatre.

Jack Docherty In The Chief - No Apologies

Scot Squad’s Jack Docherty comes to the Corran Halls for a great night of comedy! Jack Docherty is Chief Commissioner Cameron Miekelson – your Chief, our Chief, The People’s Chief! As seen on BBC Scotland’s Scot Squad and The Chief, this national hero will be bringing his wit and wisdom (and let’s be honest, his still simmering good-looks) to a theatre near you. You may have seen The Chief’s ‘Apology sketch’ – a viral sensation, racking up more than 80 million views – well now’s your chance to see The Chief live in his critically acclaimed, sell-out show, No Apologies. The show will feature your favourite sketches from Scot Squad and lots of hilarious new jokes as The Chief dissects the state of the nation, from politics to policing, football to families, bams to biscuits. The Chief will also read excerpts from his forthcoming best-selling memoir, No Apologies, a book that tells his unique personal story of how a white, middle-class, public school educated boy from Edinburgh somehow overcame all the odds to become the Chief Commissioner of The Scottish Police Force. This is sure to be the theatrical event of this, or any other, year.
