William Shakespeare’s Macbeth
Head out for a night of Live theatre with William Shakespeare’s darkest and most compelling tragedies. Macbeth is also his shortest and bloodiest play: Macbeth, spurred to action by his wife, murders King Duncan and takes the throne of Scotland for himself. Racked with guilt and paranoia, he soon becomes a tyrannical ruler, forced to commit more and more murders to protect himself from enmity and suspicion. He and Lady Macbeth slowly descend into the realms of arrogance, madness and death. This is your last chance to see this show, so don’t miss it.

Mother's Day Memorial Service
Each year Allambe Memorial Park hosts a moving tribute memorial service in honour of the mothers and mother-figures who are no longer with us. Each service is a tender reflection of the importance of these women and is a fitting way of honouring these women on an important day of the year. An invitation is extended to the community to attend a special Mother's Day Remembrance Service, and to share a light refreshment following the service. The service will be reflective, but also celebratory. Those who attend will be invited to participate by placing a special Mother's Day message into a beautiful floral arrangement, providing a meaningful way for families to express the feelings they have for their treasured mother. This service will also provide an opportunity for people to share their experiences with others who are also missing a loved mother's familiar presence.
