Come and shake a leg at this fund-raising Ceilidh.

Shake a Leg is an English Country Dance Band in great demand for Ceilidh events and renowned for delivering strong, jazzy, ‘stompy’ material.

The band has a reputation for generating fun (and often raucous) nights of dynamic dance music.

All proceeds in aid of research into childhood cancers via Ribble Valley & White Rose Ladies.

Pendle Youth Choir presents an exciting concert featuring the distinguished English Tenor Adrian Thompson and The Men of Pendle.

The massed voices of The Orpheus, The Arion, Pendle Youth Choir and guests, come together to bring you an afternoon of harmonious singing.

Adrian Thompson is arguably the most distinguished Tenor of his generation. His vast repertoire of over 30 years at the highest level with all the main opera houses, conductors and orchestras in Europe and beyond, puts him in the line of great English Tenors.

HOW TO CATCH A STARBLUNDERBUS THEATRE COMPANY

The Cavern Beat is widely regarded as the world's number one Beatles tribute band, performing the music of The Beatles true to their records.

Every performance of this Chicago-based band uses vintage guitars, amplifiers and authentic Beatles suits. Come and relive the excitement of the original live performances from the early Cavern Club days through to the rooftop performance of Get Back.

"The finest Beatles harmonies I have ever heard. The look, the sound, the attitude all absolutely spot on" (Ray Johnson, The Cavern Club).

Once there was a boy who loved stars very much. Every night he watched them from his bedroom window and wished he had one of his own.

One day, he decided he would try to catch a star...but first he had to think of a plan….’

Blunderbus is proud to present this funny, gentle retelling of Oliver Jeffers’ bewitching story.

This beautiful new show comes to life with an irresistible blend of music, puppetry and storytelling - a must-see for small people aged 3-7, and grown-up stargazers!
