Our annual Crown and Tiara Walk is on Sunday 19th May.

Everyone gets a T-shirt and a crown or tiara to walk in and we love it when people dress up so there’ll be a prize for the best fancy dress outfit. The theme is The 60th Anniversary of The Queen’s Coronation. All participants can also enjoy Dominoes pizza once the walk is completed. Please encourage your friends and family to join us – the more the merrier. For more information or to register please call 01344 622500

£11-£16
Tues £11, Wed-Thur £15 (£14), Fri-Sat evening £16, Sat mat £13 (£12) In the Russian village of Anatevka, Tevye the milkman and his wife Golde are struggling to bring up their family of five girls in the traditional Jewish way. But this is 1905 and times are changing. While the Tsar is stirring up anti-Jewish sentiment, Bolsheviks are plotting his own downfall. Back at home, Tevye’s strong-willed daughters would rather choose their own husbands – however ‘unsuitable’ – than have marriages arranged by the local matchmaker. This much loved show dramatically portrays life, laughter and love in the most difficult of times and features beautiful music with famous songs such as Matchmaker Matchmaker, If I Were a Rich Man and Sunrise Sunset. Group concessions of £1 per ticket for bookings of 10 or more tickets for the same performance
