The Pairty returns to East Kilbride: bigger, brighter and ready for Hogmanay magic. Following their completely sold‑out run at the East Kilbride Arts Centre in 2026, The Pairty is set to return to EK, this time taking to the stage of the Village Theatre in February 2027. The much‑loved Glasgow play, produced by Purple Daisy Chain Productions, promises even more laughter, heart and nostalgia as it brings Castlemilk of the late 1960s vividly back to life.

Set in Castlemilk, 1968, the story follows four women and one very work‑shy janny, as they prepare their local community centre for a Hogmanay celebration their families will never forget. With humour, honesty and a good dose of Glasgow spirit, the play blends comedy, emotion and song into a night that audiences have described as “powerful”, “real” and “completely brilliant”.

Written by Lynne Beaton and directed by Dave Bennet, The Pairty struck a deep chord with audiences earlier this year. Audience feedback included:

• “The play tonight was completely brilliant…”
• “The characters were compelling and the speeches about their lives and stories were fantastic…”
• “All of your energies made something very powerful and very real…”
• “You should try and get it filmed for TV—perfect Hogmanay viewing…”
• “Funny, emotional, a perfect way to spend a cold Friday night.”
• “Reminded me of some of my favourite things from the 60s – The Family Way, Kind of Loving…”

With its mix of humour, heartache and unforgettable songs, The Pairty is a celebration of Glasgow life, community and the women who hold it all together.

Don’t miss out. The Pairty returns to the East Kilbride Village Theatre, February 2027. This is a Glasgow play not to be missed.
