The grand event of the Monarchs 70th anniversary celebrations takes place on Saturday 25th August at Tynecastle Park, Edinburgh – the 70th Anniversary Platinum Gala.

Master of Ceremonies – Scott Wilson – will kick off proceedings at 7:30pm as we take a look back at the marvellous history of the Monarchs with some very special guests.

A hot fork buffet will be served shortly after this, offering a gorgeous main course prepared by Heart of Midlothian's award-winning hospitality team.

Then it's on with the show! Anyone who has seen Scott Wilson in action at a dinner event will know that all in attendance will be in for a treat. Scott will get the lowdown from some of the many special guests who will be in attendance, and will no doubt get the gossip from their time with the Monarchs.

Amongst the former riders due to be in attendance on the night include Monarchs first ever League Championship winning captain. Making a rare appearance in Scotland will be – the man who inspired the team to glory – Frede Schott!

Joining Frede on the night, subject to final confirmation, will be: Derek Sneddon, Jozsef Tabaka, Steve Lomas, Rob Hollingworth, Bert Harkins, Les Collins, Kenny McKinna, Brian Collins, Ross Brady, Johnny Jorgensen, Eric Broadbelt and many more.

The Platinum Gala will be an evolution of the hugely successful 60th Anniversary celebration of a decade ago, providing an evening of entertainment in the party spirit. A smart casual dress code is encouraged.

Following the after-buffet entertainment we'll get our dancing shoes on with a disco until 12:30am.

This is an evening not to be missed with tickets set to be in high demand. Priced at just £25 with special rates for Gold and Blue Card holders, you can secure yours now.
