As we move into a new year, we look forward to sharing the wonderful world of creative experiences we have on offer - just in time if you're looking for the ideal Christmas present for the theatre, comedy or dance fan in your life!
There's theatre aplenty to laugh, gasp and wonder at. Howl with the Hounds of Love in An Evening Without Kate Bush, solve the murder of Lady Fanshawe in Done to Death, By Jove and watch witty sparks fly when Charles Dickens meets Lewis Carroll in A Perfect Likeness.
Half-term is inspired by the best of children's fiction, with much-loved author and illustrator Nick Sharratt dropping in for an all-new Drawalong, Long Nose Puppets' picture-book perfect Hulla Balloony Moon Time and the Spontaneous Potter crew improvising an entirely new Hogwarts adventure based on audience suggestions - there are separate performances tailored to both kids and those aged over-16). Popular CBeebies music-maker Nick Cope will also be with us in April.
The Comedy Network finds a new home at The Berry Theatre, bringing a monthly night of exciting comedy talent to our stage (previous headliners from 2022 include Jayde Adams, as seen on the current series of Strictly Come Dancing) - alert your WhatsApp group now and get those great nights out in the calendar. Gary Delaney will lead audiences into Punderland on 11 May.
We're also thrilled to welcome a range of performances and events from our valued theatre hirers - showcasing a broad range of styles and talents from the local area:
28 & 29 Jan - Dance and Cheer-a-cality: This is What Dreams are Made Of
4 Feb - En Masse Pop Choir: The En Masse Collective
