The West End heads to Dumfries House

Great competitio­n to win tickets

- STEPHEN HOUSTON

A little piece of London is heading to Ayrshire next month.

And The Weekend Ticket has a great competitio­n to be there with a champagne reception, three course meal and meet the stars of the show when they come off stage.

An ‘ Evening From the West End’ is being staged at Dumfries House near Cumnock.

A limited number of tickets priced £ 22 remain for a two- night run.

X Factor stars Sam Bailey and Nicholas McDonald will perform at the Prince Charles masterpiec­e estate alongside Ryan Molloy.

Ryan played Frankie Valli in The Jersey Boys in London for a record- breaking six years and on Broadway, New York. The event will take place inside the estate’s luxurious Pavilion.

Our competitio­n is for two VIP tickets ( worth £ 89 each).

Sam Bailey was X Factor winner in 2013 and attained UK Christmas No. 1 that year.

Nicholas McDonald, from Wishaw, finished runner- up on the same show.

This is the second ‘ Evening from the West End’ to take place at Dumfries House.

Last year’s show featured Tarbolton’s own Jai McDowell and West End leading lady Kerry Ellis, with tickets selling out in less than a week.

Tickets for this year’s run, on Friday

March 13 and Saturday March 14, are on sale .

It was in 2007 that Prince Charles saved Dumfries House and its antique treasures and 2000 acres for farms and grounds.

A limited number of tickets are still available at £ 22 while those looking for a VIP experience can opt for £ 89 tickets which include a champagne reception, three- course meal, a seat for the show, and a chance to meet the stars afterwards.
