Fancy a touch of culture during your stay in Pitlochry?

The Pitlochry Festival Theatre, often referred to as ‘The Theatre in the Hills’, is quite often the main reason some visitors experience Pitlochry. 

During the 2009 Summer Season, there are six productions displaying all of the delights of theatre:  fantastic costumes, beautifully realised sets and thrilling performances from an industry recognised acting company.

If you are interested in experiencing some high class entertainment, visit http://www.pitlochry.org.uk/page13.php for the event calendar.  Tickets can easily be purchased from the box office, a little store just across the road from Pitlochry Backpackers on the main street of Pitlochry called ‘Just the Ticket’.
