​Thursday 22nd January 7.30pm
Classic Cinema - Bronco Bullfrog (Cert 15) 

​“Real people. Real lives. Real East End.” Barney Platts-Mills’ Bronco Bullfrog (1969) is a landmark of British cinema — a raw and honest portrait of working-class youth in London’s East End. Following Del, a young apprentice, and his girlfriend Irene, the film captures their hopes, frustrations and quiet rebellion against the world around them. Featuring non-professional actors and a semi-improvised style, it stands as a defining piece of the kitchen sink realism movement. A powerful glimpse into a time, a place, and a generation.

Saturday 28th March 7.30pm – Roughcast Theatre Company presents... A Separate Peace & The Real Inspector Hound by Tom Stoppard

A Separate Peace unfolds late at night in a residential nursing home, where a perfectly healthy man, John Brown, suddenly arrives asking to be admitted. Who is he running from? Where did he get his mysterious sum of money? Is he dangerous—and why has he chosen this place as his refuge?

Tom Stoppard’s The Real Inspector Hound is a farcical murder mystery set in the drawing room of the remote Muldoon Manor. Two London theatre critics, Moon and Birdboot, sit watching a whodunnit that soon spirals out of control. Amid tangled love affairs, sudden deaths, absurd card games, and mistaken identities, one question looms: who is the real Inspector Hound, how did he emerge from the fog, and why has yet another body appeared onstage?

Saturday 18th April 7.30pm – Chopped liver and Unions including a Q&A

History, we are told, is written by the victors. And rewritten by the forgetful. Sara Wesker led the singing strikers of 1928, stood against fascists at Cable Street, and devoted herself to the Trade Union cause. Yet remains excluded from the history books. 

In 2026 – the year that commemorates the centenary of the General Strike and the 90th anniversary of The Battle of Cable Street, this gripping, 5-star play reminds us that the world is often changed by the women pushed too far. Women such as Sara.  A sell-out success from New York to Edinburgh, it visits Wingfield Barns in April.

Tickets £14 Students/union members £12 www.wegottickets.com/event/683741

WHATS  ON  IN  MAY

Saturday 1st May 7.30pm – Don’t go into the cellar; The Thirty Nine Steps
Award-winning actor Jonathan Goodwin writes and performs this gripping new stage adaptation of John Buchan’s classic Edwardian spy thriller, famously filmed by Alfred Hitchcock.

First published in 1915, The Thirty-Nine Steps follows Richard Hannay, a man falsely accused of murder and forced to flee across the moors of Scotland. Hunted by the sinister Black Stone — a secret criminal organisation intent on triggering global war — Hannay must evade capture, survive relentless pursuit, and stop an anarchist plot to assassinate a foreign dignitary.

​Fast-paced and suspenseful, this bold solo adaptation delivers intrigue, adventure and edge-of-your-seat storytelling. Tickets £14 wegottickets.com/event/686921/

​Wednesday 6th May 7.30pm – Open Space Theatre – Women in Mind
​
Woman in Mind is a darkly comic play by Alan Ayckbourn that follows Susan, a woman trapped in an unfulfilling marriage whose imagination creates a vivid fantasy family to replace her disappointing real one. As the boundaries between her idealised world and her everyday life begin to blur, Susan’s grip on reality slips with both hilarious and heartbreaking consequences. Witty, unsettling, and emotionally powerful, the play offers a compelling journey into one woman’s fractured mind. This is one of Ayckbourn's darkest but most hilarious comedies, a play which set the audience rocking with laughter when it opened at the Vaudeville Theatre in London 40 years ago.
Age 12+ Tickets; £12.50 wegottickets.com/event/688475/
​

Saturday 9th May 7.30pm – Folk Duo
Grump O Sheep
Grumpy O Sheep is a wildly unconventional duo who blend, with energy and flair, the peat-, whisky- and beer-soaked melodies of Irish music with the fiery rhythms of Spanish guitar — all delivered with a resolutely rock attitude.

Already dubbed the “Irish Rodrigo y Gabriela”, they have appeared at numerous festivals and concert venues across France, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Germany, the Czech Republic, Italy, England and beyond. In 2025, they released their third album and embarked on a promotional tour throughout Europe.

Original, offbeat, energetic, creative, innovative and hugely talented — don’t miss them! Their genre-defying music is the unlikely yet powerful meeting of two musical styles that might never have collided without them.

Grumpy O Sheep - it’s like a duo… only better!

Tickets; £14 wegottickets.com/event/686922/

​

Saturday 30th May 7.30pm – Folk Music Green Mathews
Following the huge success of Midwinter Revels, Green Matthews return with their brand-new show, Midsummer Revels.

Featuring traditional English folk songs, original material and toe-tapping dance tunes, Midsummer Revels is a joyful, feel-good celebration of sunny days, blue skies and green fields. Songs of land and sea, town and country are brought vividly to life on a rich array of instruments including English border bagpipes, mandocello and shawm — all delivered with Green Matthews’ trademark wit and humour.

“You guys are awesome!” Bill Barclay, Director of Music at Shakespeare’s Globe Tickets £15 wegottickets.com/event/686924/

WHATS  ON  IN  JUNE

Friday 12th June 7.30pm - never-2-late.com by Charmed Life Productions

Ruby is 79. Frank is 58. They met on never-2-late.com, an internet dating site for senior singles. They quickly became lovers. Only Becca, Ruby’s granddaughter knows of their romance - until now. Three weeks before their wedding day, Ruby finally breaks the news to her two adult children. The revelation unleashes an outbreak of family panic. This, they decide, must be the result of an abusive internet predator, the early stages of dementia – or even a psychotic episode. It can’t possibly be true love… or can it?
​
Produced by Charmed Life, this is a play of our times. Cases of romance fraud are growing at an alarming rate, with devasting financial and emotional consequences for victims. By turns witty, poignant and thought-provoking never-2-late.com is a roller-coaster of a drama that challenges our social attitudes to love in later life. Live music adds to an already heady mix.
