Join us Friday 30th November at Crookston Castle for the premiere of the Dead Crooked Parade.  In collaboration with Plantation Productions and Greater Pollok young carers, The Village commissioned a film of the annual Dead Crooked Parade held on 26th October.  The young people were skilled in all aspects of film making and followed the parade of witches and warlocks through the streets of Pollok to the Crookston Castle where the Pollok witches met their fiery demise.  Next friday the completed film will be projected onto the walls of the castle.  It will run on a loop from 5-8pm.  Support these budding film makers, they have worked so well.  Don’t dress to impress, dress to keep warm.

Friday 26th October 7pm.  Follow the witches, voodoo dolls and executioners on their way to Crookston Castle to burn the Pollok Witches.  Fun for all the family.
