Company Theatre presents Cat On A Hot Tin Roof by Tennessee Williams, directed by Sian Davis.  A 20th Century Classic not to be missed with a stunning cast and set!  Set in the early ‘50’s in a plantation home in the Mississippi Delta, it is the story of a Southern family in crisis, especially Brick and wife Margaret (usually called Maggie or "Maggie the Cat"), and their interaction with Brick's family over the course of one evening's gathering.  There is also comedy and warmth as the gripping story unfolds.  The season runs from 15th to 29th May at The Rose Centre – for more information on session times and to purchase tickets, visit: www.companytheatre.co.nz


The Vic have a great line-up of events this month including Seniors Morning Tea at The Vic, happening every Thursday morning, 10.30am - enjoy a film with complimentary morning tea. The Julie Lamb Outfit performs on Friday 21st May, 8.00pm – self described as an 8 piece collaborative music family, coaxing kick-arse funky pop music into the multiverse. Get lost between the stories and the groove and find yourself in a high energy smile-a-minute space. The Vic’s Open Mic Night’s continue at 8pm on the last Thursday of the month in the Music lounge.  More information on all The Vic’s events can be found on their website: www.thevic.co.nz

Kia ora everyone,
I just wanted to take a quick moment to introduce myself! My name is Holly and I will be taking over from the wonderful Julia Mak as Promotions Coordinator for the Devonport Peninsula Trust. I'm a bit of a Devo long hauler, having lived here most of my life, and now I'm lucky enough to raise my own bebes here with my partner Chris. I love growing food, ocean swims and in my previous life I ran a ceramic arts business in Belmont. I'm looking forward to crossing paths and getting to know you all in this very special community.

BAYSWATER HALLOWEEN TRAIL TAKES A BREAK FOR 2020

9/8/2020

Bayswater Halloween Trail takes a break for 2020
​
Earlier on in the year, the team at Devonport Peninsula Trust needed to make some decisions about the event programme for the coming 2020/2021 season.  After much consideration, it was decided to give the Bayswater Halloween Trail a break this year and we plan to bring it back next year. 

There were a number of reasons that informed our decision. One of the key reasons was the feeling amongst our team to provide a lower key event in a Covid-19 Alert Level 1 environment.  Another key reason is that the Bayswater Halloween Trail depends heavily on the generosity of sponsors, and in the current climate, we did not feel comfortable relying on our supporters in this way.

We want to thank the community for all their wonderful participation in this event and we look forward to bringing it back full steam next year.
