MATINEE PERFORMANCE

The musical, inspired by the animated film, based on the ancient myth.
It’s what classical civilisation would have wanted.

Ancient Greece. A time of gods, mortals… and Hercules, who isn’t quite either.   But if he’s not a god, how can he possibly save the world from Hades?   It’s one thing flexing those pecs, but going from zero to hero requires a different kind of strength.

Get ready for a wise-cracking, column-shaking, underworld-rocking ride of adventure, self-discovery and love, In tunics.

Directed and choreographed by Casey Nicholaw, with music by Disney Legend Alan Menken, lyrics by David Zippel, a brand-new book by Robert Horn and Kwame Kwei-Armah, and co-choreography by Tanisha Scott.

Hercules delivers a thrilling night out that leaves you ready to conquer anything.

EVENING PERFORMANCE

Get ready to celebrate the remarkable legacy of one of the UK’s most treasured bands.

Iconic soul and pop band Simply Red today earmark their forthcoming 40th anniversary by announcing an incredibly special UK & Ireland arena tour coming to Utilita Arena Birmingham on the 4th of  October 2025.

“Simply Red are turning 40!   We’re looking forward to marking this special milestone with you all in 2025 on our UK tour” says Mick Hucknall.   “Fans can expect to hear all their favourite Simply Red tracks from 1985 to the present, and enjoy a memorable night celebrating the incredible journey that we’ve been on together over the past four decades.”

Few bands have enjoyed the success and longevity of Simply Red.   With over 60 million albums sold worldwide, five UK #1 albums, 1.8 billion streams across streaming platforms worldwide, and over 1 million YouTube subscribers,   Simply Red remain one of the UK’s most successful and well-loved bands. Their 1991 classic Stars was the best-selling album for two years running in Britain and Europe, and all 13 of Simply Red’s studio albums, including their latest release ‘Time’, have been UK Top 10’s.

Mick Hucknall formed Simply Red in 1985 working-class Manchester, and enjoyed early success with first single ‘Money’s Too Tight To Mention’ and the Brit Award-nominated album ‘Picture Book’ (the first of 13 nominations, and 3 Brit Award wins).   This was followed by a decade of superstardom and global hits.   Today Simply Red continue to sell out tours across the globe.   Their live show is renowned for its exceptional quality, with Mick Hucknall long-established as one of the great vocalists of contemporary music.

To celebrate this impressive 40-year milestone, Simply Red head back out on the road in 2025, telling the musical story of Simply Red so far – from ‘Picture Book’ to ‘Time’, and everything in between.

Waverley is the World’s last seagoing paddle steamer.

In 1974, at the end of her working life, she was famously gifted for £1 to the Paddle Steamer Preservation Society.

Waverley Steam Navigation Co. Ltd., a charity registered in Scotland, was set up to own and operate the ship.   Waverley then began a second career as one of the country’s best-loved tourist attractions.

Since she has been in operational preservation, she has been awarded four stars by Visit Scotland, an engineering heritage award, and has carried over 6 million passengers from over 60 ports around the UK.

We head to Southend and have time for lunch before we meet at the end of the World’s longest working pier which you can take a train ride to as it’s a mile long!

We then board the last sea-going paddle steamer in the world and steam towards London. It is a thrill to see the illuminated London skyline and cheer as Tower Bridge opens for us!

2025 POPPIES COMMEMORATIVE DISPLAY TO MARK THE 80TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE END OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR.

See a new special commemorative display of ceramic poppies installed inside the Tower of London to mark the 80^th anniversary of the end of the Second World War.

The display of nearly 30,000 of the original poppies, made for the 2014 installation, ‘Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red’, returns to the Tower, marking the sacrifices made by so many during the Second World War.

The specially commissioned installation resembles a ‘wound’ at the heart of the Tower, which was itself bombed during the Blitz. Poppies pour across the lawn overlooked by the ancient White Tower, where the blood-red flowers form a crater, with ripples flowing outwards.

On display within the Tower’s walls, the installation creates striking images, reminding us of loss through war, and of the long-lasting impact of conflict. It creates a shared space for visitors to remember and reflect on the collective sacrifice of so many in this important anniversary year.

The poppies are on loan from Imperial War Museums and were designed and made by the artist, Paul Cummins. The new display has been created by the designer, Tom Piper.

A fun treat for a special occasion

The Clink Restaurant at HMP Brixton is anything but ordinary—it’s a fine dining experience tucked inside a working prison, with a powerful mission behind every plate.  Here we will enjoy an award winning three course lunch served by the prisoners themselves.

Located in the old Governor’s House, built in 1819, within HMP Brixton.  The restaurant seats around 120 guests and features elegant touches like leather upholstery made by prisoners at HMP Frankland.  It’s air-conditioned and designed to feel welcoming and professional—despite its unusual location.

Operated by The Clink Charity, the restaurant trains up to 30 prisoners full-time in hospitality.  Participants work toward City & Guilds NVQs in food preparation, service, and hygiene.

The goal? To reduce reoffending by equipping prisoners with skills and confidence for life after release.

The menu showcases seasonal British cuisine with a contemporary twist.  Ingredients are often sourced from the prison gardens, emphasizing freshness and sustainability.

As the restaurant is located within a Category-C prison, security checks must be completed on all people visiting before a booking reservation can be confirmed.   All visitors must be over 18.   All diners must bring their photo ID (driving license or passport).

On your way home, we will take you on a sightseeing tour of London.

EVENING CONCERT PERFORMANCE

Join the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at St Paul’s Cathedral for a concert celebrating the 80^th birthday of one of the UK’s most accomplished living composers and icon of choral music, conducted by the man himself, John Rutter.

Be one of the first to hear the world premiere of a new piece specially composed by John for the occasion, before a performance of Vaughan Williams’ Symphony No.5.   Only two years older than the evening’s conductor, it is a piece that manifests a vision of peace and tranquillity amid times of war; its heart-piercing Romanza will make you feel as though time itself has stopped.

The celebration’s centrepiece will be The Gift of Life, a work that the composer set out to write as a counterpoint to his earlier Requiem – a celebration of creation and life itself in all its majesty and manifold beauty.   The six-movement piece, set to a blend of liturgical passages, poetry and original text, bursts with unabashed jubilation. Its central movement, the Hymn to the Creator of Light for double choir, is an intricate layering of voices and instruments that envelopes the listener in an array of radiant colours.

Buddy Is Back!

Elf The Musical is heading back to the West End! Following a record-breaking season on Broadway last year, ‘the ultimate Christmas show’ (Smooth FM) returns to spread festive cheer at the Aldwych Theatre for 10 weeks only from 28 October 2025 to 3 January 2026.

Based on the beloved film.  Elf is the funny and charming tale of Buddy, who mistakenly crawled into Santa’s bag as a baby and was raised as an elf!   Way too tall and not so great at his job, Buddy is the North Pole’s biggest misfit… and knows he’ll never belong.   When Santa tells him the truth, Buddy heads to New York to find his birth father (who turns out to be quite high on the naughty list).   After causing some merry mayhem in Manhattan, Buddy finally discovers the gift of family and falls in love.

And when Santa’s sleigh crashes in Central Park, it’s Buddy who finds a way to save Christmas forever!

MATINEE PERFORMANCE

Fly away to Neverland as you’ve never experienced it before with Ella Hickson’s darkly witty retelling of JM Barrie’s Peter Pan directed by Jonathan Munby.

Follow Wendy on a big adventure as she journeys far from the safety of the Darling’s nursery in her quest to find the key to her parents’ forgotten happiness and discovers how the power of just one happy thought can set flight to newfound joy.

With Peter Pan, fairy Tink and Tiger Lily as her unlikely allies, Wendy takes on the diabolical Captain Hook, brought to life by RSC Associate Artist Toby Stephens (Oslo, Hamlet) in this ‘spectacular’ (Guardian) staging about what it really means to grow up.

With breath-taking set design from Colin Richmond, flying, sword fighting and more than a sprinkling of fairy dust, it’s an unforgettable journey for the whole family.

The Magic of Christmas

Prepare to be surrounded by the magic and wonder of the Christmas season! As you and your family take in the festive decorations at THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride station, you can almost hear the faint sound of sleigh bells in the distance and the fun begins.

THE POLAR EXPRESS™ is waiting for you at the platform. Wait for the train Conductor to invite you and the other passengers to climb aboard, shouting “All aboooooard!”.   Anticipation builds as you step onto the Train to be escorted to your seat by the Chefs from the film.   Before long, scenes from the film come to life as dancing Chefs and Waiters arrive to serve cookies and hot chocolate.   The children are invited to engage these exciting characters who are eager to hear from the youngsters about what makes the Christmas season special to them.   While the hot chocolate lingers in your mouth and warms your tummy, you will listen as the story of The Polar Express is told in its entirety.   Chefs show pages from the beautifully illustrated book for the whole carriage to follow.   A smile grows on your face as you watch your child become absorbed in the wonderment of the story.

As your adventure continues, you notice other key elements of the story — both inside and outside your train — springing to life.   Watch and listen as another scene unfolds on-board before your eyes.

Upon arrival at the North Pole, keep your eyes peeled for Santa’s sleigh, a bag of toys and a giant Christmas tree. Watch out for Santa waving and, when the train stops, listen out for the carriage door to slam as Santa gets on board. After the train departs the North Pole for the return voyage home, you soon notice that the adventure isn’t over. Santa appears in your midst to present each passenger with their very own “First Gift of Christmas”, a silver bell from his sleigh.

Thinking back to the story, you might like to remind the children to check their pockets for holes!

Chefs on board lead the passengers in singing favourite Christmas Carols as the train heads back.   Here passengers depart the train and make their way to the great gift shop with a range of gifts from toys, to Exclusive Polar Express Merchandise.

We encourage our guests, young and old to wear pyjamas just as in the Film.   Children love it and if you can persuade our older guests, Mums, Dads, Granny and Grandpa to also join in, the atmosphere in the train comes alive for a truly magical experience!

This is where your participation in the story of The Polar Express comes to an end.   However, our hope for your family is that your Christmas season has been enriched and memories from your experience will endure for years to come.

Operated by The Clink Charity, the restaurant trains up to 30 prisoners full-time in hospitality.  Participants work toward City & Guilds NVQs in food preparation, service, and hygiene.

The goal? To reduce reoffending by equipping prisoners with skills and confidence for life after release.

The menu showcases seasonal British cuisine with a contemporary twist.  Ingredients are often sourced from the prison gardens, emphasizing freshness and sustainability.

As the restaurant is located within a Category-C prison, security checks must be completed on all people visiting before a booking reservation can be confirmed.   All visitors must be over 18.   All diners must bring their photo ID (driving license or passport).

Last 9 seats – BOOK NOW

It’s not where the train is going – it’s deciding whether or not to get on – that’s the question!    You Coming?

Without a doubt – this is one of the most magical of trips that we go on.   This trip is fully immersive and inclusive and is the epitome of the magic of Christmas.  Pyjamas are encouraged – it truly does make sense why when you arrive!

Prepare to be surrounded by the magic and wonder of the Christmas season! As you and your family take in the festive decorations at THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride station, you can almost hear the faint sound of sleigh bells in the distance and the fun begins.

THE POLAR EXPRESS™ is waiting for you at the platform. Wait for the train Conductor to invite you and the other passengers to climb aboard, shouting “All aboooooard!”.   Anticipation builds as you step onto the Train to be escorted to your seat by the Chefs from the film.   Before long, scenes from the film come to life as dancing Chefs and Waiters arrive to serve cookies and hot chocolate.   The children are invited to engage these exciting characters who are eager to hear from the youngsters about what makes the Christmas season special to them.   While the hot chocolate lingers in your mouth and warms your tummy, you will listen as the story of The Polar Express is told in its entirety.   Chefs show pages from the beautifully illustrated book for the whole carriage to follow.   A smile grows on your face as you watch your child become absorbed in the wonderment of the story.

As your adventure continues, you notice other key elements of the story — both inside and outside your train — springing to life.   Watch and listen as another scene unfolds on-board before your eyes.

Upon arrival at the North Pole, keep your eyes peeled for Santa’s sleigh, a bag of toys and a giant Christmas tree. Watch out for Santa waving and, when the train stops, listen out for the carriage door to slam as Santa gets on board. After the train departs the North Pole for the return voyage home, you soon notice that the adventure isn’t over. Santa appears in your midst to present each passenger with their very own “First Gift of Christmas”, a silver bell from his sleigh.

Thinking back to the story, you might like to remind the children to check their pockets for holes!

Chefs on board lead the passengers in singing favourite Christmas Carols as the train heads back to Dereham Station.   Here passengers depart the train and make their way to the great gift shop with a range of gifts from toys, to Exclusive Polar Express Merchandise.

We encourage our guests, young and old to wear pyjamas just as in the Film.   Children love it and if you can persuade our older guests, Mums, Dads, Granny and Grandpa to also join in, the atmosphere in the train comes alive for a truly magical experience!

This is where your participation in the story of The Polar Express comes to an end.   However, our hope for your family is that your Christmas season has been enriched and memories from your experience will endure for years to come.

These are Premium tickets that includes Hot Chocolate, ceramic Polar Express mug, and a little bell. A lovely keepsake of a wonderful trip.

Join us for a magical journey on the Polar Express

It’s not where the train is going – it’s deciding whether or not to get on – that’s the question!    You Coming?

Without a doubt – this is one of the most magical of trips that we go on.   This trip is fully immersive and inclusive and is the epitome of the magic of Christmas.  Pyjamas are encouraged – it truly does make sense why when you arrive!

Prepare to be surrounded by the magic and wonder of the Christmas season! As you and your family take in the festive decorations at THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride station, you can almost hear the faint sound of sleigh bells in the distance and the fun begins.

THE POLAR EXPRESS™ is waiting for you at the platform. Wait for the train Conductor to invite you and the other passengers to climb aboard, shouting “All aboooooard!”.   Anticipation builds as you step onto the Train to be escorted to your seat by the Chefs from the film.   Before long, scenes from the film come to life as dancing Chefs and Waiters arrive to serve cookies and hot chocolate.   The children are invited to engage these exciting characters who are eager to hear from the youngsters about what makes the Christmas season special to them.   While the hot chocolate lingers in your mouth and warms your tummy, you will listen as the story of The Polar Express is told in its entirety.   Chefs show pages from the beautifully illustrated book for the whole carriage to follow.   A smile grows on your face as you watch your child become absorbed in the wonderment of the story.

As your adventure continues, you notice other key elements of the story — both inside and outside your train — springing to life.   Watch and listen as another scene unfolds on-board before your eyes.

Upon arrival at the North Pole, keep your eyes peeled for Santa’s sleigh, a bag of toys and a giant Christmas tree. Watch out for Santa waving and, when the train stops, listen out for the carriage door to slam as Santa gets on board. After the train departs the North Pole for the return voyage home, you soon notice that the adventure isn’t over. Santa appears in your midst to present each passenger with their very own “First Gift of Christmas”, a silver bell from his sleigh.

Thinking back to the story, you might like to remind the children to check their pockets for holes!

Chefs on board lead the passengers in singing favourite Christmas Carols as the train heads back to Dereham Station.   Here passengers depart the train and make their way to the great gift shop with a range of gifts from toys, to Exclusive Polar Express Merchandise.

We encourage our guests, young and old to wear pyjamas just as in the Film.   Children love it and if you can persuade our older guests, Mums, Dads, Granny and Grandpa to also join in, the atmosphere in the train comes alive for a truly magical experience!

This is where your participation in the story of The Polar Express comes to an end.   However, our hope for your family is that your Christmas season has been enriched and memories from your experience will endure for years to come.

These are Premium tickets that includes Hot Chocolate, ceramic Polar Express mug, and a little bell. A lovely keepsake of a wonderful trip.

Discover the untold story of the Witches of Oz

Already the 9th longest-running West End musical of all time, Wicked has been seen by over 10 million people in London alone and played almost 6000 performances.

The classic musical is the winner of over 100 major international awards.

When Dorothy famously triumphed over the Wicked Witch of the West, we only ever heard one side of the story.

Wicked is based on the 1995 novel by Gregory Maguire – Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West.

It takes a look at the Land of Oz with new eyes and creates a parallel journey to the familiar The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum.

At the core of Wicked is friendship, in this case a very unlikely one.

The blonde and very popular Glinda and a misunderstood green girl, Elphaba.   They first meet at school and after a bumpy start, they form a strong friendship.   Their journey takes a turn during a visit to Oz to meet the Wizard where during that encounter their lives take very different paths.   Glinda is lured into a powerful and public role while Elphaba remains determined to be true to herself and the people in her life, whatever the cost – both paths seeing them fulfil their destinies as Glinda The Good and The Wicked Witch of the West.

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s mesmerising score magically combines with jaw-dropping scenery and breath-taking special effects to bring this tragic love story to life each night.

The Phantom of the Opera is widely considered one of the most beautiful and spectacular productions in history, playing to over 160 million people in 41 countries and 186 cities in 18 languages.   Andrew Lloyd Webber’s romantic, haunting and soaring score includes Music of the Night, All I Ask of You, Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again, Masquerade and the iconic title song.

He’s too modest to admit it, but Sir John Rutter might just be the world’s best-loved living classical composer.   Millions have sung his music, millions more have been touched by it: fresh, sincere and written with genuine love, it’s part of all our lives.

That’s the highlight of a concert that features two of Sir John’s favourite American classics – pure uplift – and another, very special treat, as he conducts RPO principal oboe John Roberts in a delightful solo showpiece.

Experience musical history in the making.

Located in the heart of Chelsea, Cadogan Hall is renowned for its exceptional acoustics and intimate atmosphere.
As the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra’s resident venue, it offers a perfect setting for this special concert.

A rather wonderful adventure is about to begin. The world premiere of PADDINGTON The Musical lands in London’s West End.

Bringing one of Britain’s best-loved characters to life on stage, this unmissable major new production at the Savoy Theatre is jam-packed with irresistible songs, dazzling choreography – and of course, marmalade sandwiches.

It’s Paddington as you’ve never seen him before.

When a small, lost bear from Peru arrives in London in search of a new home, a chance encounter with the Brown family leads him to the wonderful world of Windsor Gardens.

But London isn’t all cream teas and friendly faces – and even the happiest families have their cracks beneath the surface. So when Paddington’s life is suddenly in peril, the Browns must decide just how far they’re willing to go — and what they’re willing to risk — to give this special bear a home.

Based on the iconic characters from Michael Bond’s books and the award-winning films, PADDINGTON The Musical is directed by Luke Sheppard, with original music and lyrics by Tom Fletcher and book by Olivier Award-winner Jessica Swale.

The first written records of the estate date back to 749 when an Anglo-Saxon King granted the estate to the Bishops of Winchester.   Bishop William of Wykeham built a beautiful medieval palace and gardens in the park.   Later on, the palace was rebuilt as Highclere Place House in 1679 when it was purchased by Sir Robert Sawyer, the direct ancestor of the current Earl of Carnarvon.

In 1842, Sir Charles Barry, who also designed the Houses of Parliament, transformed Highclere House into the present day Highclere Castle.

During the First World War, Highclere Castle was converted into a hospital for wounded soldiers run by the 5th Countess of Carnarvon.   Throughout the Second World War, Highclere Castle was home to  children evacuated from London.

There are between 250 and 300 rooms in the Castle and during your tour you will explore the main state rooms so familiar from “Downton Abbey”.  Fans of the show can relive every scene:   glide down the grand oak staircase like Lady Mary did on her wedding day, sit at Jackdaws Castle where Lady Edith so often found herself and take in the state dining room where many of the Dowager Countess’ wonderfully acerbic lines were delivered by the late Dame Maggie Smith.

You will see some of the bedrooms after which you will follow the stairs down to the cellars and old staff quarters where you will find the Egyptian Exhibition, celebrating the 5th Earl of Carnarvon’s discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun.

There are tea rooms and cafes in the grounds or you are welcome to bring a picnic if you wish.  You may also wish to visit the gift shop and there are plant stalls located at the car park and by the tea rooms.

A rather wonderful adventure is about to begin. The world premiere of PADDINGTON The Musical lands in London’s West End.

Bringing one of Britain’s best-loved characters to life on stage, this unmissable major new production at the Savoy Theatre is jam-packed with irresistible songs, dazzling choreography – and of course, marmalade sandwiches.

It’s Paddington as you’ve never seen him before.

When a small, lost bear from Peru arrives in London in search of a new home, a chance encounter with the Brown family leads him to the wonderful world of Windsor Gardens.

But London isn’t all cream teas and friendly faces – and even the happiest families have their cracks beneath the surface. So when Paddington’s life is suddenly in peril, the Browns must decide just how far they’re willing to go — and what they’re willing to risk — to give this special bear a home.

Based on the iconic characters from Michael Bond’s books and the award-winning films, PADDINGTON The Musical is directed by Luke Sheppard, with original music and lyrics by Tom Fletcher and book by Olivier Award-winner Jessica Swale.

Please look after this bear.
