The List

The Tivoli Theatre

Built in 1936 as a cinema and theatre, by the late 70s the Tivoli was under threat of demolition but following a long campaign to save the building it reopened in 1993. Today it continues its tradition of showing a mixture of cinema and live performance and sometimes both, with a good deal of events being event cinema screenings. It receives no Lottery or government funding and relies for its revenue entirely on its customers and supporters. The nearest train station to Wimborne Minster is Poole, nearly eight miles away. The No 3 bus runs a regular service from Poole station to the centre of the town.

Count Arthur Strong continues on for one last time, as he says what just might be his final goodbye, to whoever’s listening. Don’t miss this potentially wonderful event. Because if you do miss it, you can’t say you were there, like some people do. NB. Bring a hankie because you might get emotional.
Tommy Cooper - Have I Got Time For More?
A brand new production from the guys that brought you Steptoe & Son! Tommy Cooper, one of the greatest ever comedians, is back! Expertly performed by Phil Hoyles - the UK's number one impersonator - he brings you all of the 'tom'-foolery, jokes, songs, laughs, magic, failed magic, and energy, that the original funnyman presented all those years ago! Renowned theatre magazine The Stage describes Phil's portrayal as "a carbon copy in look, voice and humour" and "as near to the genuine article as you can get"! He's got the height, the laugh and the Fez - all we need is you! Come along and join us for a trip down memory lane, a jolly good laugh and an evening of belly-aching nostalgia. This show is being produced by Cattle Productions Ltd. who have a distinguished reputation in the revival and recreation of classic comedy, ensuring that these true icons are never forgotten. We are also supporting local charity LOROS Hospice from the proceeds.
