Over the past four weeks, 26 schools and early years learning centre across North Lanarkshire and beyond have visited Lanternhouse for Pinocchio and Special Delivery. We would like to thank all those teachers who chose us for their festive school trips.
Here are some snapshots from the past few weeks.

Did you know Billy Connolly made his theatrical debut at our previous home, The Cottage Theatre? Our very own People’s Theatre Company is creating a brand new production, Connolly’s Cumbernauld Flourish, celebrating his life and his special connection to the town. We’d love your memories to be part of it.
