IT'S just a week to go until Ayrshire's new adult community drama group NAE Drama hold a special performance in Eglinton Park.

The Eglinton Tournament - A History (Almost) will take a look at the very first time the famous event was held.

It's August 1839 and, following the cut-cost coronation of a very young Queen Victoria, the Earl of Eglinton and his step-father decide to put on a show with all the pomp and ceremony they could muster.

What better than a medieval tournament with bunting, banners, knights, ladies and, of course, jousting... Except it's in Scotland ... on a flood plain. What could possibly go wrong? And who will actually turn up?

Join the participants of Three Towns-based NAE Drama for their 40 minute(ish) (almost) true retelling of this funny, fascinating and farcical local tale.

Every ticket bought will help NAE drama continue to meet, explore their creative voice and grow as a positive force for the arts in the Three Towns and beyond.

The show will take place in the Eglinton Racquet Hall in Eglinton Country Park on Sunday, October 27 at 1pm and 2pm. 

Tickets cost £4.98 (including booking fee and cake) and are on sale now
