welcome to our new season There have been lots of exciting changes recently. We proudly opened our second full time cinema screen, giving film fanatics even more choice. The new screen allowed us to have our busiest week ever, when we showed the new James Bond film, Skyfall!

We have also started soft play sessions for preschoolers and this season will start running coach trips to top West End shows.

We are delighted to present the hugely popular Horrible Histories show in June. Other first time visitors include Madness front man Suggs and

stars from Strictly Come Dancing Pasha and Katya. As ever, we’ll also be welcoming some of comedy’s biggest names.

You’re guaranteed to find something to enjoy.

Keith Garrow, General Manager.

Suggs: My Life Story In Words And Music

Suggs has just turned 50, the kids have left home, and his cat just died.

Stunned by what he learns, Suggs revisits his childhood on the tough streets of 1970s Soho and his first appearance on Top Of The Pops at just 18. Plus, musical accompaniment and uncalled-for interjection from Deano, his loyal pianist-come-manservant.
