What's on in Dumfries

Open workshop and bike sales - get support fixing bikes or find or build a new one.

**JUPITER+NATION DUMFRIES** Growing Pains is a site-specific installation by artist Lindsey Mendick set in an abandoned estate agent's office. Referencing her teenage years, Mendick has transformed the space into a haunting, immersive experience that explores the uncertainty, awkwardness, and societal expectations surrounding adolescence. Assembled on a spiralling desk that references the often cruel loop of teenagehood, Growing Pains features Alice-in-Wonderland-style ceramic dolls' houses that burst open, with teenage figures erupting from within. The work captures the surreal pressures that emerge at the threshold of adulthood, underlining the tension between a yearning for parental acceptance and the simultaneous urge to reject it. Jupiter+Nation is an ambitious off-site programme by Jupiter Artland that brings world class art to high streets across Scotland. Content warning: The supporting documentary film contains strong language, references to suicide, bullying and negative body image that some viewers might find difficult. Young people must be accompanied.

CHARITY BINGO NIGHT Get ready for a fantastic night of bingo, games, prizes and lots of laughs! The bingo night will be hosted by Andrew Twigg, aka Nurse Nellie Knickerlastic, who will be calling the numbers as we raise funds for the Guild of Players Youth member Hari, who is fundraising for a trip to Cambodia next year to do youth work. Tickets are FREE, but numbers are limited and the event will be ticketed. There will be 6 games of bingo plus a flyer, (£20 for 6 games, £3 for a flyer), along with other games and a raffle with some fantastic prizes. Andrew will be joined by James and Hari, who you will recognise as Snivel and Grovel in this year’s Panto. **Doors open:** 18:30

Open for bike sales and information, with basic workshop services provided where possible. Come and pick up one of our bargain bikes or have a look to see if there's one of waiting for you to take on as a repair project.

It's back and it's going to be bigger than ever. The Big Dumfries Christmas Lights Switch On and Lights of Hope will happen at 7pm, but you can join us for an afternoon of music and fun including a visit from a very special Christmas guest and some reindeer. After the lights are switched on we'll all join Santa and his reindeers on a short parade around the town.
