What's on in Garelochhead

Dunbartonshire, Scotland

Garelochhead sits tucked away in Dunbartonshire, a quiet corner of Scotland where the water is calm and the locals know exactly what day it is. The Gibson Hall has been hosting community gatherings for years, proving that you do not need a big city to find a good night out. It is just the sort of reliable spot that keeps the village spirit alive without needing any fanfare. There are always events popping up near the loch, from local talks to family-friendly activities that keep everyone entertained. You can rely on Near Here to tell you where things are happening so you do not have to waste time scrolling through a dozen different sites. It is a proper friendly neighbourhood service for anyone looking to spend an evening close to home.

Darren McGarvey: Trauma Industrial Complex Live

Orwell Prize-winning author and BAFTA-winning documentary maker Darren McGarvey presents an entertaining multi-media exploration of trauma, class, and the modern culture of oversharing. Blending comedy, spoken word, and social commentary, McGarvey offers a bold, compassionate and unflinching look at how personal pain becomes public performance — and what it really costs. Praised as “brilliant and thought-provoking” (Nicola Sturgeon) and “truly courageous, sincere, and difficult” (The Herald), the show will resonate with audiences interested in storytelling, wellbeing, and social change.

Out Of The Box

OUT OF THE BOX is a family-friendly circus comedy show, which sees an unlikely character and his box bring audiences together through joyful awe, never knowing what to expect next. With every opening of the box comes new trick shots, mini acts, and hilarious opportunities for participation – but don’t worry – Darryl only ever wants you to leave the stage feeling like the star of the show (there’s no ridicule here!). Delivered through, non-verbal clowning, ordinary objects become extraordinary in the hands of Darryl – and you won’t believe the reaction he gets from a toothbrush in the finale! The show is a joyous celebration of PLAY throughout your life, whatever your age, bringing generations together through seriously skilful silliness.

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...
