We are celebrating Port Glasgow’s 250th Birthday by taking you on an adventure through the high fantasy world of Port Glasgow. Based on a Dungeons & Dragons campaign co-curated with young people in Inverclyde, this performance will transport you to a Port Glasgow full of magic, mystery and intrigue.

Unfortunately the event is not accessible, however we are going to screen the event downstairs in the cellars to allow for the experience of watching D&D in the castle.

We are looking into whether a portaloo would be available to allow accessible toilet
