Unfortunately this event has been postponed until 2014 – more information on the Centrestage website.
We’re delighted to be involved in ‘Generations’ – the historic walk through Kilmarnock to support Centrestage Music Theatre’s community projects, on Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd June. The aim of the walk is to bring together different generations of families and members of the community, to walk together, talk together, and share memories of their town.
The walk will visit the town’s historic landmarks, and participants will stop off at the Dick Institute, Dean Castle, and Burns Monument Centre to see the facilities and of course the wonderful collections held at these great venues.
Here at the Burns Monument Centre walkers will get a taster of our Family History facilities, including a look at how you can find family records from 1513 to the present day using Scotland’s People. There will also be a wide selection of local history and archive material to browse, including old Kilmarnock newspapers, Victorian magazines, pamphlets, programmes, and photographs. The walk is also being supported by Kilmarnock & District History Group and Frank Beattie.
Staff will be on hand to help, as well as the Walk Group Leaders. Let’s hope for a warm and sunny day! Ticket details are on the flyer below.
