In their own words:  Rivendell Stories, presented by Lesley Wilson – Click here for tickets

As a writer in residence at Rivendell Care home Lesley has spent many hours listening to, and writing down, the stories of growing up and growing old in Dunkeld and its surrounds.

Stories of dancing at Clunie Hall, working in Buchanan’s and Menzies, scratching after a trip to the pictures, life during the great depression of the 1930’s, the slums of Dunkeld, Tin City and many more.

Come along and hear to their own words, shared by Lesley, and perhaps share yours.
