As the shipping forecast embarks on its second century, bestselling author and award-winning broadcaster Charlie Connelly’s hilarious and informative show brings the quirky broadcast vividly to life, celebrating what he regards as the greatest invention of the modern age. How did a weather forecast for ships capture the hearts of a nation, from salty old sea dog to insomniac landlubber? How is it possible for ‘rain later’ to be ‘good’? And where the hell is North Utsire? Delving into the history of the forecast and the extraordinary people who made it, Charlie explains what those curious phrases really mean, celebrates its wide cultural impact, shares riproaring adventures from his own extraordinary journey through the 31 sea areas – the times he was accused by the media of trying to annex Rockall from the British government and sang sea shanties with Tom Hardy in a Manx hotel bar while Scary Spice pulled the pints - and presents his case for the shipping forecast being our finest achievement. Inspired by Charlie’s bestselling book, which has sold more than a quarter-of-a-million copies worldwide, this pacy, moving and hilarious show takes you all the way from Viking to South-East Iceland to ensure the shipping forecast will never sound the same again. “Charlie Connelly is one of the funniest people I have ever had the pleasure of sitting in a studio with…He has a natural wit that doesn’t get crushed by an over-zealous ego with a lovely personality attached to it.” Fi Glover, broadcaster “Charlie is always warm, funny and engaging…I actually sent him a fan letter - and I've never done that to anyone in my life before.” Bernard Sumner, New Order “I can thoroughly recommend an evening spent in the company of the very funny and very lovely Charlie Connelly whose knowledge of what I call ‘the ships’ is excellent. Sou’westers optional.” Corrie Corfield, BBC Radio 4

Somewhere in a parallel universe little Alfie’s natural comedic performance skills were recognised by his doting parents who encouraged and developed his blossoming talent. After several years as a stage school brat Alfie’s angelic face was launched on stage and screen and the rest is history. Meanwhile, in this universe Alfie Moore was told to stop messing about in class before being ‘encouraged’ into the grinding, grimy world of an apprenticeship in the Sheffield steelworks. When recession hit he traded steel for copper by joining Humberside Police. In his 40s the two universes collided when Alfie made a bid for showbiz success – but unfortunately 30 years of shift-work and being punched in the face quite a lot, had left him with ‘a face for radio’. A face not so much ‘lived in’ as inhabited by a settlement of squatters with little regard to property maintenance and repair. This is the true story of ‘Fair Cop’ Alfie’s big plan to transition from the BBC radio waves to TV star. Could it be done? Or had Father Time decided that his time had passed?

This is his story of the last decade, of new adventures and climbs in the far north and south, along with summits in South America, Central Asia and the Himalaya. In 2023, Simon travelled with legendary British mountaineer Mick Fowler to attempt the un-climbed north face of Patkhor in Tajikistan, but contracted food poisoning from their freeze-dried food on just the second day. After some debate, they continued, but this was just the beginning of a series of events that would see them run out of food, retreat below the summit in a storm and Simon taking a bone-breaking 100m fall during the descent. After two days of lying on the glacier waiting for a helicopter, rescuers finally arrived but were unable to carry Simon down. Somehow, he would need to summon the energy for the painful three day walk to safety. A survival classic, with the added twists of a fast-paced thriller.

Tonight's talk is raising funds for the Goods Shed and History of Tetbury Society (H.o.T.S) A native Tetburian,Will Cook has been involved with the rail lands since the project started in the 1990s with Will chatting to the Prince of Wales! He was one of the original Trustees when the Trust was formed in 2000 and was the Chairman from 2013 to 2017 during which time he led the Goods Shed renovation project turning the building from a derelict wreck into the beautiful arts centre that we have today. During this time Will was also the person who probably did most actual physical work on the project using his carpentry skills as well as labouring. Since stepping down as Chairman Will has been the great driver in getting the caf started and then making it into a much loved and popular venue for dog-walkers, mothers, children and anyone who loves the park lands. He was also instrumental in bringing to Tetbury and renovating the Goods Sheds railway carriage. Will has been a Feoffee for many years and is a great supporter of all things Tetbury.

The enduring story of the romance between Elizabeth Bennett and Mr Darcy is read by Harriet Walter in a simple but intimate drawing-room setting, in much the same way that Jane herself first read the story aloud to the Austen family and their closest friends. Weaving around those words is Carl Davis' magical score from the much loved BBC TV drama series of the 1990s, performed by Melvyn Tan (pianist on the original BBC soundtrack) and violinistIrene Duval. Combining the words of Jane Austens most popular novel with one of the most beloved musical soundtracks of the 1990s, Pride & Prejudice is a captivating entertainment full of laugh-out-loud moments and wonderful surprises.

We came by Sea - A new conversation with Lord Dubs and Horatio Clare: On Migration - Friday 21st November 2025 In association with GARAS and Yellow-Lighted Bookshop Fuelled by a one-dimensional story designed to stoke anger and division, migration has become one of the most divisive topics in British politics. It is time for a new conversation. Labour peer and former MP, Lord "Alf" Dubs has been a life-long campaigner for the rights of refugees and asylum seekers, having himself arrived into the UK in 1939, aged six, on the Kindertransport. One of the most active members of the House of Lords, Alf tabled the Dubs Amendment to the 2016 Immigration Act to protect the rights of unaccompanied minors. Now, aged 92, Alf continues to be a committed exponent of the idea that politics can be a force for good. In his superb new book,We Came By Sea, bestselling writer and journalist Horatio Clare explores the small boats crisis in the English Channel. What he found from interviewing lifeboat crews, boarder officers, security guards and volunteers, was not the story we have been told, but the story of one of the great search and rescue operations ever mounted. Horatio believes it is a story that reveals a Britain that is as great and as good as the people in the dinghies believe it to be. Their conversation will be facilitated by Warren Lee, Director of Gloucestershire Action for Refugees and Asylum Seekers (GARAS). This event is brought to The Shed in conjunction with Yellow Lighted Bookshop and GARAS Advance tickets 12.50 - to cost 14.00 on the door on the night Copies of We Came by Sea together with other publications by Horatio Clare available to purchase at 10% discounted retail price.

Nick Drake is the most revered and loved of all this country’s Singer/Songwriters. He has given us timeless songs that shed all the tears of life within their fragile yet perfect lines. He recorded three cherished Albums between 1969 and 1972 but was almost entirely unknown in his day. After his tragic death in 1974 aged only 26 his music almost disappeared into obscurity. Now, thanks to a massive resurgence of interest and a worldwide re-evaluation of his genius. Nick Drake has become a national treasure. Two decades have now passed since Singer/Guitarist Keith James paralysed the whole Country with this stunningly beautiful concert. In 2001 he was the first artist ever to bring this intriguingly fragile music to Theatres across the UK in its live form. The result was six years of highly acclaimed tours amounting to over 1000 concerts in venues across the UK, Ireland, Holland, France, Italy and Spain including all of Nick’s Schools and Colleges - even Glastonbury Festival.
