Robert and May have worked together since 1988.

Through the years they have established quite a following of loyal fans and more recently members from their ever popular Millerettes Club which began during the Covid years. 

They always like to bring something different to their theatre shows and this time they have Liam Dolan presenting the show. Regular visitors to the theatre already know of May's humour so along with Liam, there should be a few more laughs than usual. 

Jane Henderson is always present at the East Kilbride shows and if you have not heard her sing before you are in for a treat - she has a phenomenal voice. 

The last couple of shows also included the talents of Aileen Finn who is now becoming a favourite with the Robert and May audience. Aileen is a great vocalist with years of experience under her belt. 

There are always new songs and stories at these nights so if you like great music and good banter then East Kilbride Theatre is the place to be.

Available to book online or by calling East Kilbride Arts Centre on 01355 261000.

Cost: £25.00 (subject to £1.50 transaction fee)

Standing outside the entrance to Low Parks Museum is a simple, bronze memorial plaque on a polished granite plinth that bears the words “The Dutch Don’t Forget”. The plaque was presented to veterans of the 52nd (Lowland) Division, a Scottish, Territorial Army formation that played a vital part in the liberation of the Netherlands in the final stages of the Second World War. The message is simple, the Dutch will never forget the sacrifices made by the men of the 52nd (Lowland) Division in freeing them from Nazi oppression.

Two battalions of The Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) proudly fought in the Dutch campaign in the Second World War. The 6th Battalion, historically covering the county of Lanarkshire, and the 7th Battalion, drawn mainly from the south side of the city of Glasgow.

This commemorative exhibition highlights the part played by these two battalions, as part of the 52nd (Lowland) Division, in this pivotal stage of the Second World War.

Free entry, open Tuesday to Saturday 10:00am-5:00pm.
