House of Horror- A Review
Willy Wonka famously starts the tour of his fantastical factory by announcing “We have so much time and so little to see!” One might think that after so many Halloweens at Kinkell Byre this statement may have carried over this year’s installment of the House of Horror Charity Gala. But Alas like Wonka himself, the […]
A Welly Ball Preview
Georgie Stafford of the Welly Ball committee grants some insight on St Andrews’ favourite boozy and bucolic ball of the year, coming up on the 10th of November. How would you characterise this year’s Welly Ball? How does it differ from last year? Welly Ball is in its eleventh year now and in honour of […]
Review: The Rocky Horror Picture Show
The first thing that needs to be said in any review of The Rocky Horror Picture Show is that Tim Curry deserves an Oscar. With that out of the way, we can move on to the second thing: even Tim Curry at his best just can’t beat the sheer joy of flinging a […]
Stop the BOP
After a long week it’s finally Friday night, so what are your plans? Maybe you’re after a low key night at one of the many pubs and bars in town; there might be an event on at the Vic; or maybe you feel like dancing. But the only real club in St Andews is the […]
Label Fashion Show: A Review

Upon entering, guests were greeted by a glass of champagne and a Jazz […]
Review: Bacchanalia
Hugh M Casey Ζωή Σοφία Εὐτυχία Melodies and people dancing beneath brightly strung lights, smiling, warm. Φαντασία. Simplicity untouched within Younger Hall. The inaugural event of Bacchanalia was smooth and carefree. Between 9 pm and 2 am there was no silence. Quickly inside the door was quiet chat, laughter at the human statues guiding you […]
Music Review: DONT WALK 2017
Marina Carnwath DONT WALK is simply an extremely professional enterprise. The night, in its entirety, seemed meticulously orchestrated and executed, with the arrival, show, and after party flowing into one another with minimal disruption. The abundance of such high profile fashion shows this term always strikes one as a little bizarre for a student town, […]

I met with Helen Sanderson, one of the event organisers, to find out what the chat was. I have been promised all manner of things. Certainly, the formalities that are expected of Younger […]
