Doon the Watter
2025-05-11 14:00 - 16:00 (Europe/London) | Paisley Centre, 23 High Street, Paisley, Renfrewshire, PA1 2AQ, United Kingdom
PACE Theatre Company has announced their new show specially designed for little ones aged 0-5 at its pop-up theatre at PACE at the Paisley Centre.

Doon the Watter is a heartwarming celebration of nature, storytelling, and the joy of adventure.

From the team that brought us The House-Proud Mouse and Aunt Alma’s Attic, Doon the Watter is written and directed by Lyndsey Graham, and developed in collaboration with Eleanor Farrelly and Iona Ramsay. The production will feature original music by Alan Orr with lyrics by Iona Ramsay, and is performed by Eleanor Farrelly and Iona Ramsay.

Join two sisters as they set off and go on an exciting trip ‘doon the watter’ to their favourite island! With the salty sea breeze in their hair and the gentle waves carrying them along, they fill the journey with stories of magical mermaids, soaring seabirds, and mischievous seal pups who love to play tricks.

Expect plenty of giggles, splashes, and surprises as our two adventurers weave a world of imagination.

Doon the Watter launches on Wednesday 7th until Sun 11th May 2025.

Lochwinnoch Advice Works drop-in sessions - free, confidential advice on money, debt, and benefits
2025-05-14 10:00 - 12:00 | Renfrewshire
Pop-up events aim to boost benefit take-up and provide vital debt support to help the public deal with rising costs.

Renfrewshire Council is supporting residents through a series of pop-up advice events across the area.

The Advice Works team will be visiting libraries and community centres throughout May and early June to offer free, confidential advice on money, debt, and benefits. Drop-in sessions are open to everyone and will help ensure people are getting all the support they’re entitled to.

Advisors will be on hand to answer any questions people may have about benefits, including whether they qualify and how to apply.

They can provide advice on accessing support such as Housing Benefit, Universal Credit, Pension Credit, and Council Tax Reduction. They will also provide one-to-one support for anyone looking for help managing debt or improving their financial situation.

Councillor Jacqueline Cameron, deputy leader of Renfrewshire Council and chair of the Fairer Renfrewshire sub-committee, said: “We know many people are still feeling the impact of higher living costs. These local events are about making sure no one misses out on the help available to them.

“Whether that’s benefits they didn’t know they could claim, or help dealing with money worries. Our Advice Works team is here to provide trusted, confidential support in the heart of our communities.”

An evening with Chick Young & Tam Cowan
2025-05-16 19:00 - 23:30 | The Howwood Inn, 2A Main Street, Howwood, Renfrewshire, PA9 1BQ, United Kingdom
The Howwood Supper Club presents: An Evening with Chick Young & Tam Cowan – The football banter you never knew you needed – live and unfiltered!
Forget the punditry you see on TV – this is the real deal. Join Chick Young & Tam Cowan for an evening of football stories, laughs, and awkward silences. It’s like having a pint down the Howwood Inn with your two favourite uncles… you get tow blokes who like the sound of their own voice… and don’t mind sharing their *completely* unqualified opinions!!
Here’s what you can expect:

Top-quality football insights (some of which might actually be true)
Unfiltered banter about referees, managers, and everything in between
Hilarious stories from their years of getting paid to talk nonsense
Audience Q&A–They’ll pretend to take your questions seriously, then roast you like a Christmas turkey

Come for the football chat, stay for the jokes that might be a bit too edgy for daytime TV.
It’s football chat, cheeky humour, and enough embarrassing moments to make you forget your own awkward family gatherings. Meanwhile, the half time snacks will be that good, you might actually forget they’re even talking football.
And if you can’t take the banter, don’t worry—the bar will be open and the drinks are probably stronger than Tam’s opinions!
Tickets are available at the bar from Saturday 1st February 2025.

The Unlikely Friendship of Feather Boy and Tentacle Girl
2025-05-21 19:00 - 22:00 | Johnstone Town Hall, 25 Church Street, Johnstone, Renfrewshire, PA5 8EG, United Kingdom
Two friends perform breath taking aerial shows. They fly, spin, hang from the rooftops and fall out of the sky…

But they weren’t always so glorious. How did they transform from feeling like outsiders, unable to fit in, to the fantastical creatures they always knew they had inside them?

The Unlikely Friendship of Feather Boy and Tentacle Girl is the touching story of a girl who wants to be a monster and a boy who wants to fly. Exploring the universal yearning to belong and sharing the joy of friendship, this is a dynamic and visually stunning aerial show.

Commissioned by Imaginate, produced by Catherine Wheels, in association with the National Theatre of Scotland, supported by Assembly. Funded through the Scottish Government’s Festivals Expo Fund, development funded by Creative Scotland.
