"A Sporting Chance" is a comedy adventure about one man who battles with his personal athletic best. The performance combines live performance and animation and is suitable for all ages.

The hero receives news that he is the lucky winner of a seat at the Games. However, he has many adventures, mishaps and meetings as he tries to get there. Finally he finds himself entering the stadium, but on the wrong track. Luckily the gruelling adventure has prepared him well as he makes the journey from spectator to participant.

The show has been brought to the local area by Buckie Festival. Tickets are available from Taylor's Pharmacy, Buckie, or by calling 01542 831116.

Full details will be available from 11th February 2012.

The programme will contain a range of events, with the theme for the core events being "The Creative Individual".  The Festival will be presenting experienced artists, art students, the work of traditional artisans and the often unseen work of the home-based creator.  The "Show Your Hand" exhibition will feature artworks and artifacts showing traditional artisan skills, from ceramics and leatherwork, to enamelling to smithing.  The Festival will also have family fun events, including the ever popular sandcastle competition, the spectacular duck race, and a programme of hands-on workshops for all ages.  Brochures will be available at the end of April.

If you want to create an event, please contact the organisers at info@coastfestival.org.uk.

In collaboration with the COAST Festival and inspired by the August Sander photographic exhibition, this hands-on workshop will run over two afternoons.  The pinhole camera is the simplest form of photographic recording device and can be made using basic everyday recycled materials.  Participants will build their own cameras, take photographs using light sensitive paper and then develop black & white prints to take home. As if by magic, see the amazing amount of detail the pinhole camera can capture, producing striking and unusual photographs.

This activity is particularly suitable for adult and child (min age 7 years) pairs working on a camera together and is offered at £10 per pair.  All materials provided.

This is expected to be a popular activity and places are limited. Early booking in advance is essential by calling 01261 813000.
