This is part of the 2017 Year of History, Heritage and Archaeology which aims to inspire people to get involved in appreciating the history and culture of where they live. The school is adjacent to the Carron Dams local nature reserve which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). This site is the legacy of the Carron Company which existed here for 245 years as an integral part of our community as well as a manufacturer of national importance. On 8 and 9 December of this year, students from Larbert High will perform a piece of outdoor promenade theatre, celebrating the unique heritage of this site. Accompanied by music and lighting, students will re- enact key aspects of Carron Company’s history and legacy within the stunning setting of the Carron Dams. Through the project we hope to highlight the significance of the Carron Company and Dams and encourage the local community to visit and appreciate the area. We are delighted to invite you along to this performance on 8 and 9 December 2017. Tickets for this event are limited, although there are 5 performances each evening. Tickets can be purchased via the following link: https://billetto.co.uk/e/spark-and-grit-tickets-221247 Alternatively pupils can purchase tickets direct from Miss Waterfall in the English department. Please note, audience members are strongly advised to dress appropriately for the outdoors and for inclement weather. A torch is also recommended. We look forward to seeing you at this fantastic event!
