Milton Jones: HA!milton

3 May 2025 - 29 Nov 2025

This is not a musical. Milton Jones is tone deaf and has no sense of rhythm, but at least he doesn’t make a song and dance about it. He has more important things to discuss. Like giraffes... and there’s a bit about tomatoes. You might know him from Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo or Radio 4. Or that time he stood for the Scottish National Party, fought a hard campaign, but in the end had to respect the wishes of the people of Cardiff. A whole new show of daftness. You know it makes sense. Warning - contains jokes from the start.

Adam Ant

Adam Ant

23 Oct 2025 - 25 Nov 2025

One of the seminal figures of new wave, Adam Ant (born Stuart Leslie Goddard) had several distinct phases to his career. Initially, he explored a jagged, guitar-oriented post-punk with his group Adam and the Ants before giving way to a more pop-oriented, glam-tinged musical direction that brought him to the top of the charts. After that had run its course, he refashioned himself as a mainstream singer, which enabled him to stretch his career out for a couple of years. Once it seemed that his musical career had evaporated, he made an unexpected comeback in the early '90s as an adult alternative artist. During all this time, he recorded several great pop singles and had a surprisingly large impact on alternative rock.

Inspired by the performances of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, Joey Bishop and Peter Lawford, the UK stars are hitting the road (with Pasquale at the wheel of the tour bus). Packed with laughs and songs, backed by a 15-piece band, the show will let the audience in on the banter between some of television's best-loved stars - who are also very close friends. Bradley Walsh says: "People are starved of our type of entertainment - songs, stories, jokes - and banter! It's an homage to the Rat Pack but brought up to the modern day, and its a fantastic night. We are just thrilled. We all share the same dressing room - we're mates. We've known each other for so long now - and the show is about warmth and family - because we are. It's great, really great." Walsh was joined by his three mates and the Barry Robinson Big Band for a one-off show at the Palladium in London in March, and the idea was born for a full-on Prat Pack tour. Fans can expect an evening packed with jokes that can only come from the chemistry of such seasoned entertainers. Walsh, Conley and Richie were all Pontins Bluecoats earlier in their careers and Pasquale was a Warner's Greencoat, giving them all a grounding in variety before decades-long careers at the very top of entertainment.

This course is designed for anyone who would like to explore different ways of making art through print. Learn how to use different tools and materials to produce unique prints, experiment with textures and colours, and develop your own artistic style. This course offers a hands-on approach to becoming familiar with an array of print making techniques. Go on - give it a go! Tutor Natasha has developed this 5-week course to be easy and fun - anybody can take part. She really enjoys printing herself and is keen to share her passion with the local art community. This course will cover four different print making techniques, including: Eco Printing - making a relief print using a leaf or flower found outside. We will use colour, and tints and shades thereof to produce a 3D effect in this abstract piece. Cyanotype Prints - usually used in photography to produce Prussian blue prints. In this process we will mix and paint the cyanotype chemicals onto paper before arranging leaves, flowers and sticks collected to create an interesting image. These will be placed in the sun where the chemical will react to the UV rays to produce beautiful unique botanical blue prints. We will also be experimenting to see what other effects we can create. Fruit and Veg Prints - Using real fruit and vegetables, we will be trying out best cutting and printing techniques, working out a good design and find the best result to decorate tea towels. Foam Printing - This might look simple but it does take a subtle hand for a great outcome. Using nature as our muse, participants need to develop a simple, unique design. We will draw the design onto the foam board and use it to print onto our tote bags. In the final week we will embellish our tote bags with beads, buttons and embroidery. Tutor Natasha Deighton is an Animation graduate and former Art and Design Technology teacher. Natasha is currently a potter and new business co-owner of Art with Soul Studio, running various art and craft workshops in the Market Bosworth and Hinckley area.

Professor Alice Roberts

Professor Alice Roberts

25 Aug 2025 - 19 Nov 2025

Join Professor Alice Roberts as she takes us on an investigative journey to establish who spread Christianity, how and why; the story of the fall of an Empire – and the rise of another. Celebrating the publication of her new book, DOMINATION, the narrative will lead audiences from a secluded valley in South Wales to the shores of Brittany; from the heart of the Roman Empire in a time of political turmoil to the ancient city of Corinth in the footsteps of the apostle Paul; from Alexandria in the fourth century to Constantinople. As the Roman Empire crumbled in Western Europe, a shadow of power remained, almost perfectly mapping onto its disappearing territories. And then, it continued to spread. Unearthing the archaeological clues and challenging long-established histories, Professor Roberts tells a remarkable story about the relationship between the Roman Empire and Christianity. Lifting the veil on secrets that have been hidden in plain sight, this story is nothing short of astonishing. Domination is a page-turning exploration of power and its survival, and now you have the opportunity to hear more from the author in this exciting evening with Professor Alice Roberts.

16 Aug 2025 - 16 Aug 2025

With her tongue firmly in her cheek, Jane Austen tells us, "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife." Mrs Bennet certainly thinks so. So when Mr Bingley – single, young, handsome, and with £5000 a year – moves into nearby Netherfield Park, she devotes all her energy to contriving for Jane, the eldest of her five daughters, to meet him during rural Hertfordshire’s whirlwind of social balls. But even Mrs Bennet draws the line at Mr Bingley’s disdainful friend Mr Darcy despite his whopping £10,000 a year. Thank heavens Lizzy, her second daughter, finds him detestable too! Or does she…? Can she see beyond his pride – and could he overcome her prejudice – to consider a possible future together? Following seven sell-out seasons of this sparkling adaptation, award-winning Illyria returns to celebrate Jane Austen’s 250th birthday in style.
