EVENING PERFORMANCE

Inspired by the twisted genius of Roald Dahl, Matilda The Musical is the captivating musical masterpiece from the Royal Shakespeare Company that revels in the anarchy of childhood, the power of imagination and the inspiring story of a girl who dares to change her destiny.

Matilda follows the story of Matilda Wormwood, a bright little girl who loves to immerse herself in books. But Matilda is discarded and belittled by both her dimwitted parents — her father insists on calling her a boy and harps on about her “stupidity” for preferring reading to watching the telly – and her hostile headmistress, the wicked Miss Trunchbull.

Matilda may be reclusive but she has an ever-growing imagination and very sharp mind, and with caring teacher Miss Honey Matilda dreams of a better life, daring to take a stand against unjust forces and to grasp her destiny in her own, tiny hands.

This bold, enchanting and ingenious production is directed by Matthew Warchus, with book by Dennis Kelly and original songs by award-winning musician and comedian Tim Minchin.

MATINEE PERFORMANCE

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.

EVENING PERFORMANCE

Enter a world of splendour and romance, of eye-popping excess, of glitz, grandeur and glory!   A world where Bohemians and aristocrats rub elbows and revel in electrifying enchantment.

Pop the champagne and prepare for the spectacular spectacular…

Set in Montmartre Quarter of Paris, France at the turn of the century, a world of indulgent beauty and unparalleled extravagance, of bohemians and aristocrats, of boulevardiers and mademoiselles.

Moulin Rouge! tells the fictional story of an ambitious, lovesick composer, Christian and a dazzling, entrancing chanteuse, Satine.

Their lives collide at the Moulin Rouge with its many characters including the host of the Moulin Rouge, Harold Zidler, the brilliant and starving artist Toulouse-Lautrec, the greatest tango dancer – and gigolo – in all of Paris, Santiago, the tempting Nini, and The Duke of Monroth, the wealthy and entitled patron of the club who thinks he can buy anything he wants, including love.

The show’s music includes hits from some of the greatest artists of all time.   From the film’s iconic classics like Elton John’s “Your Song” and Nat King Cole’s “Nature Boy”, it also fuses contemporary classics in the famous “Elephant Love Medley”, which seamlessly incorporates over 20 songs by the likes of The Beatles, U2, Elvis, Dolly Parton, Queen and more into a single euphoric moment of theatre.

Baz Luhrmann’s revolutionary film comes to life onstage, remixed in a new musical mash-up extravaganza.   A theatrical celebration of truth, beauty, freedom and — above all — love.

Moulin Rouge! is more than a musical; it is a state of mind.

A landmark stage production of Agatha Christie’s Witness for the Prosecution takes place in London County Hall, planting audiences right in the centre of this gripping story of justice, passion, and betrayal.

Leonard Vole stands accused of murdering a widow in order to inherit her wealth, and the stakes are high: convince the jury – and the audience – of his innocence, or face the hangman’s noose.   That is, after he’s survived the shocking witness testimony.

This production immerses the audience in a unique courtroom setting, complete with drama and intensity, on London’s Southbank.

See you in court.

ATTRACTIONS & PLACES OF INTEREST

In 2008, members of various groups in Broadstairs came together, keen to explore ways to promote the town and to showcase its many independent shops, restaurants and pubs.

The idea was to create a festival, which would support the High Street, promote the area’s small food and drink producers and encourage visitors to explore all that the three coastal towns of Broadstairs, Margate and Ramsgate had to offer.

It was agreed, from the start, that the festivals should be community led, fun and available to all so a commitment was made to have FREE entry – a commitment that holds strong today.

The first festival, in 2009, was an immediate success thanks to the response from food and drink producers – and the band of volunteer helpers who gathered to stage the event.

And the rest, as they say, is history!

BLUE BADGE GUIDED TOUR

Two thousand years ago the Romans enjoyed indoor plumbing but until a couple of hundred years ago Londoners were still emptying their chamber pots out of the window.  At the Great Exhibition of 1851 the new flush loo was a big hit.  There was however a bigger problem.   You could now flush the waste from. your house but without a sewage removal and treatment infrastructure the waste ended up in London’s rivers.

During the hot summer of 1858 the amount of human waste being flushed directly into the River Thames became a national scandal and was known as The Great Stink.

We begin our day in Central London tracking London’s lost rivers, cruise the Thames to Greenwich and drive across to the old  Crossness Engines.

We meet our Blue Badge Guide at 10.30am in the City for morning coffee (included).

We tell the story of spending a penny from Roman times to the coming of the flush loo.   We trace London’s lost rivers, tell the story of The Great Stink and show you how Victorian engineer Sir Joseph’s Bazalgette achieved one of the most remarkable feats of civil engineering ever seen.   Bazalgette stopped London’s waste running into the Thames by building massive intercepting sewers beneath new Embankments created by pushing back the mighty Thames behind stone walls.

On Bazalgette’s Victoria Embankment, we board a Thames Pleasure Cruiser to Greenwich.   You must bring packed lunches today to eat during the cruise.

From Greenwich our coach whisks you further east past Woolwich to the Thames Marshes and the Cathedral of Sewage.

Here you will discover some of our most spectacular ornamental Victorian cast ironwork and possibly the world’s largest surviving beam engines.   There’s a museum and a social story here too – the workers lived on site in terraced cottages built right above the massive sewage storage tank.   Mesh at the windows kept the flies at bay.   It must have stunk to high Heaven but my goodness they grew good tomatoes!

A most unusual day comes to a conclusion with tea and biscuits at Crossness included in the tour fee before heading home at 4.30pm.

Spectacular floral displays set in the magnificent medieval Cathedral

See over 30,000 stems of blooms and foliage in spectacular floral displays inside the magnificent medieval Cathedral.

It will be an amazing feast for the senses!

The Spirit of Water, is a companion piece to the Cathedral’s summer art exhibition, Living Water.   Just as the art show explores the power of water, its ability to hold memories and shape the identity of a place, as well as our need to live in balance with this life sustaining force, the Flower Festival takes its inspiration from water in all its different forms – rain, water, ice and more.

The theme of The Spirit of Water will see over 30,000 blooms across an array of arrangements, depicting water in its many settings – from displays representing ‘a world without water’ and semi-dry locations, to a journey along a ‘river of flowers’ and even an ‘ice’ display.    A display depicting the seabed will include hundreds of fish made by local community groups.   Above the Nave there will be an installation of woven willow ‘raindrops’, providing a spectacular canopy down the length of the Cathedral, while at the high altar, a huge ‘wave’ of woven cane will provide a focal point for visitors.  Elsewhere, umbrellas, cascading with flowers, will float above the North Transept and the South Transept will see a depiction of the five rivers that meet at Salisbury. There will also be displays in the Chapter House and Cloisters.

SEASIDE DAY EXCURSION

From iconic tourist attractions to beachfront cool, Brighton is a treasure trove of things to do and places to go.

Ever since royal party animal George IV fell in love with Brighton back in the 18th Century, the city has been a magnet for visitors in search of fun, frolics and fresh sea air. With its majestic Regency squares and crescents, iconic Royal Pavilion and famous piers, today Brighton is as well-known for being a welcoming and diverse city with a passion for culture, creativity and sustainability as it is for its historic landmarks.

From the stunning heritage of the Royal Pavilion, Regency architecture and Victorian aquariums to the seaside fun of Brighton Pier and the famous pebble beach, Brighton offers something for every walk of life.

A great place to visit is the spectacular seaside palace of the Prince Regent (George IV) transformed by John Nash between 1815 and 1822 into one of the most dazzling and exotic buildings in the British Isles.   The Pavilion houses furniture and works of art including original pieces lent by HM The Queen and a magnificent display of Regency silver-gilt.   The Royal Pavilion Tearoom, with its fabulous balcony, overlooks the Pavilion gardens, has also been returned to its original Regency splendour.

If you’re looking to put a creative edge into your shopping, Brighton Lanes offer a shopper’s paradise of independent shops and boutiques.   Once the heart of the fishing town Brighton Lanes’ historic quarter is a fabulous maze of twisting alleyways, offering an extraordinary mix of antiques and jewellery shops nestling alongside specialist contemporary and designer boutique fashion.

You could never accuse violinist Maxim Vengerov of playing it safe’ wrote one critic – going on to praise ‘the sense of meaning and purpose… and, above all, that effortless charisma’.

But perhaps it’s easiest to come and hear for yourself, as Vengerov summons the fire and ice of Sibelius’ windswept Violin Concerto.   It’s music from an era of new beginnings and strong emotions – whether the swashbuckling, sensuous thrills of Richard Strauss’ Don Juan or the ear-popping colours of Stravinsky’s fairy tale ballet The Firebird.

When The Firebird premiered in Paris, four years before World War I, it was as if Stravinsky had waved a magic wand across the orchestra, and the tale of the enchanted Firebird, the demon Kaschei and the courageous Prince Ivan is one that Vasily Petrenko (Conductor) never tires of retelling.

BLUE BADGE GUIDED TOUR

Our Guide will meet your coach on Newgate Street at 10.30am for morning coffee in Paternoster Square – a cup of tea or coffee is included.

We are in the precincts of the  Cathedral and Paternoster Square and the surrounding street names remind us of the processions of the mediaeval clergy.   In this bright and modern square we see Christopher Wren’s Temple Bar Gate that once marked entry into the Square Mile.   Across the road we discover Christ Church Greyfriars where four Queens are buried.   The friary church was destroyed in the Great Fire of London and today, set in an attractive little garden, we see the ruins of the Wren church that replaced it and, which itself was destroyed during the Blitz.

Before the Great Fire there were over 100 churches in the Square Mile and just across the road we discover another garden that unites the rest of the old Greyfriars churchyard with that of another lost church plus one still standing to form one of the largest open spaces in the City.   Known as Postman’s Park it is home to the very touching Art Nouveau ceramic plaques of the Watts Memorial to Heroic Self Sacrifice – ordinary people who died while saving the lives of others and who might otherwise be forgotten.  It was here that the flames of the Great Fire died to embers leaving traces of the old City at the historic Smithfield which had long been London’s meat market as well as a place of execution.

We visit London’s oldest Parish church, approached from beneath a Tudor gatehouse and alongside some mediaeval cloth merchants houses.   The austere Norman beauty of St. Bartholomew the Great has provided the backdrop for the filming of Roger Moore’s Ivanhoe back in the 1950s to Four Weddings and a Funeral and Shakespeare in Love more recently.   Your tour guide will pick out some wonderful features – this is a very memorable visit.  

For lunch we stay in Smithfield for a choice of pubs and cafes.

Our relaxing narrow boat cruise is on London’s hidden waterway – the Regents Canal.   We begin the 50-minute journey from Little Venice, a delightful pool surrounded by opulent Regency houses and end at the flagged and cobbled courtyard of Camden Lock.   Elegant town houses line the first stretch and soon we are gliding through the green splendour of Regents Park, past the terraces of London Zoo.   Our Guide will explain points of interest along the way as you sit back to enjoy life at four miles an hour.

The day finishes at Camden Lock where options include a lovely Wetherspoons for refreshments before heading home at 4.45pm.

THREE NIGHT SHORT MIDWEEK BREAK

You won’t have to look far to find things to do in Bath as the city is famously full of attractions and activities.   In many ways, Bath hasn’t changed much since the times of Georgian gentleman Ralph Allen and writer Jane Austen, both of whom fell under the spell of this city built for pleasure.

Take a tour through time and explore the only UK city designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.   You’ll travel centuries in just a few steps.   Visit the Roman Baths dating back to AD43 to see how our former settlers liked to unwind.   Wander through the pages of one of Austen’s classic novels as you stroll past mellow architectural masterpieces like the Royal Crescent and the Circus, or celebrate Bath’s most famous resident at the Jane Austen Centre.

The city is home to an array of fascinating museums, such as No. 1 Royal Crescent, where you can experience life as a Georgian in Bath, or the unique Museum of East Asian Art, the UK’s only museum solely dedicated to the arts and cultures of East and South East Asia.

Bath is a lively, thriving city where ancient history and Georgian elegance sit comfortably alongside a decidedly twenty-first-century cosmopolitan buzz.   Eat out in hundreds of restaurants and cafés serving everything from Michelin-starred gourmet dishes to simple, satisfying street food.

Unwind in chic cocktail bars and welcoming traditional pubs, then dip into a rich evening scene that embraces comedy, live music and theatre.   Head to Green Park Brasserie for free live jazz music and award-winning food and drink, catch a show at Theatre Royal Bath or enjoy after-hours entertainment at Komedia Bath.

It goes without saying that no trip to Bath is complete without taking the waters.   Relax and unwind in natural hot springs that have been a magnet to visitors for millennia.   Visit Thermae Bath Spa for revitalising treatments, healing steam rooms and awesome 360-degree Bath views from the rooftop pool.

If it’s retail therapy you’re after, you’ve come to the right place.   Bath is a shopping superstar, boasting an unbeatable choice of independent retailers selling tempting one-of-a-kind items (plus, of course, the full complement of major high street names).

We’ve only been able to scratch the surface here in mentioning the many things to see and do in this classic, cosmopolitan city. You won’t want to rush it. For the full experience, take your time and enjoy this short midweek break to beat the crowds.

We will be staying for three nights at the Hampton by Hilton Hotel on a Bed and Breakfast basis.

The Hampton by Hilton Hotel is located In the heart of Bath.  The hotel is less than 10 minutes from dozens of parks, museums, and historic sites.  Just a quarter mile from the Roman Baths and Thermae Bath Spa, and half-mile from Bath Spa Railway Station.

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.
