What’s On in Clydesdale

Our picture shows ladies enjoying last year’s Lanimer Ball. This year, for the first time in decades, Lanark’s Lanimer Ball is being moved to a Saturday evening instead of its traditional Tuesday night slot.

Around 300 anticipated guests will enjoy a delicious meal before dancing to Airdrie band The Collective, inside a marquee at Lanark Racecourse on June 11.
