Eildon Twilight Serenade
Eildon Twilight Serenade, formerly Opera at Eildon, returns for a magical Valentine’s evening.
The banks of the Eildon Pondage will once again come alive with music and community spirit as the newly named Eildon Twilight Serenade returns.
Gates open at 5:00 PM, with a preshow at 5:30 PM. Guests can enjoy a variety of food and drinks available for purchase, pre ordering preferred and highly recommended. They are thrilled to introduce something a little different for the preshow. The Sarezian Woodwind Quartet with Melissa Knowles on the clarinet, Carol Galea on the flute, Tania Berezin on the oboe and
Jenny Ottosson on the bassoon.
This year’s format offers something for everyone: the first half features operatic highlights, followed by a second half of popular musical favourites. They welcome back Kathryn Radcliffe (Soprano) and Phoebe Briggs (Keyboard), along with Stephen Marsh (Baritone), returning from Berlin. Joining them is James Egglestone (Tenor), making his Eildon debut.
With such exceptional talent, the evening promises to be unforgettable. To make it even more special, guests will have the opportunity to meet and greet the artists after the show.
Eildon Easter Twilight Market and Inaugural Boat Show and Shine
The Eildon Easter Twilight Market and Boat Show and Shine hosts a great variety of local food and beverage trucks, as well as local producers with a wide array of goods to try or buy. This will showcase the abundance of quality local artisans, artists and creators. There will be live music showcasing local youth and artists.
There will be many extra family-friendly activities. An Easter bonnet parade will be lots of fun for all ages. There are prizes for the best creations. Make it at home, or create it on site at the Easter bonnet stall. Free Easter Eggs will be given out.
Bring along your picnic blanket/chairs and relax, enjoy great music, food and drinks on the beautiful banks of the Eildon Pondage. A great family day out, all for a gold coin donation. This is a pet friendly event and dogs must be on a lead at all times.
