As of 20 November 2012, upcoming events include

22-25 Nov – Art Fair

The Pavilion’s spectacular annual Art Fair, organized by Friends of the Pavilion. NB: artists can take part in this event only if invited to do so – the Friends Art Fair committee now has nearly 400 artists on its list and cannot possibly include all of them every year, much as they would love to! This year, we expect to show over 350 original works by about 130 artists working in the Highlands and Islands. All work will be for sale, as well as cards, prints and calendars by participating artists. Opening times are:

Thursday 22 Nov 10 am to 8 pm

Friday 23 Nov 10 am to 8 pm

Saturday 24 Nov 10 am to 6 pm

Sunday 25 Nov 10 am to 2 pm

Entry is free, though there will be a small charge for the catalogue. There will also be a raffle and, as always, the Friends of the Pavilion will sell teas with their own delicious home baking (daytime only).

28 Nov 8 pm The Animals & Friends. Featuring John Steel and Mickey Gallagher from The Animals, plus Danny Handley (performed alongside Spencer Davies, Bobby Elliott and Rick Lee), and Pete Barton (The Mindbenders, Boomtown Rats). Plus very special guest Zoot Money (who was also at one point a member of The Animals).

The Animals & Friends remain a seminal rhythm & blues band who still command great respect internationally amongst their peers as well as from fans of all ages who instinctively respond so enthusiastically to such pivotal songs from The Animals’ catalogue such as ‘We Gotta Get Out of This Place’, ‘Boom Boom’, ‘Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood’, ‘Baby, Let Me Take You Home’, ‘I Put A Spell On You’ and the band’s multi-million selling anthem and no. 1 hit across the world – ‘House of The Rising Sun’.

“The band that shook the world back in 1964 have re-invented themselves …. quality and distinct sound that was, and still is, The Animals ….” (Barry Kirk, Romford Recorder).
