About Christmas Exhibition

Listed Under Christmas Events / Exhibitions Events

The popular Christmas exhibition will be held again at the Milngavie venue – from Saturday 11 November until 20 December – with a selection of paintings, prints, ceramics, and glass and wood crafts on show, as well as a range of unique gift ideas.

This year’s artists include Michael Durning, Jo Ganter, Hanna Kaciniel, Jenny Hunter and Catherine King to name just a few.

The exhibition, which is free to enter, will be officially opened at 2.30pm on Saturday 11 November. All welcome.

If that wasn't exciting enough, a family puppet show – 'Looking for Nessie' – will be staged at the Lillie on Saturday 18 November, starting at 2.30pm.

The Loch Ness Monster is on an adventure with Angus McGregor, keeper of the Loch’s secret, to visit Granny Smith. However, when Nessie goes missing, Angus must find his friend – with some magic words and the help of children in the audience.

Tickets (£4.50 for adults, £3.50 for children – plus booking fee) are available via edlc.ticketlight.co.uk or call our booking line on 0141 777 3143.

Councillor Jim Gibbons, Chair of East Dunbartonshire Leisure and Culture Trust – which operates the Lillie, said: "The Christmas exhibition is the perfect place to enjoy an array of artworks, while also browsing a range of potential festive gifts.

"The family puppet show also promises magic and adventure for children and the young at heart."

The Lillie Art Gallery – Station Road, Milngavie, G62 8BZ – is open Tuesday-Saturday, 10am-1pm and 2-5pm. Admission is free.
