AN EVENING OF HEARTWARMING TALES
Saturday, 27th January 2024 - 7:30pm
ALL TICKETS: £8.00
Hosted in our Bar area, by Alexandra Simson, of Story-Well, a unique well-being and training service founded in 2011.
Once there was a well full of ancient stories. For generations storytellers would visit the well, sharing its stories with others. People of all ages, backgrounds and professions were inspired by the stories they heard. They began to awaken to themselves and with each other, to nature and the world around them. Life transformed and the magic that was always then, now and forever came into being…
“Alex is an AMAZING storyteller of the very best kind; her voice is liquid, buttery and deep, while her stories are adapted from traditional ancient tales that she gathered from all over the world. A sound-well event leaves you immersed in the story for days after; it’s a fascinating experience of creative listening and inner growth.” (Cynthia J Hurn, co-author with Dr. Bernie S. Siegel, ‘Love, Animals and Miracles.)
Join Alex for an evening of Heartwarming Tales this January.

It’s the show night out not to be missed – wowing crowds in Blackpool since 2014, and now touring the country – OH WHAT A NITE! is a different style of tribute show to any other that you will have seen or heard of before. Matt Andrew leads our vocal quartet as our tribute to Frankie Valli – telling the story of the band and how they formed the group which took them to the dizzy heights of television appearances, fame and fortune… all performed alongside an amazing trio of vocal talent – Johnny, Michael and Toby who take the roles of Nick Massey, Bob Guadio and Tommy Devito. Comedy host Leye D Johns can’t be kept away from the stage for too long either, bringing a light hearted flavour to proceedings and ensuring the crowd leave with a big smile on their face. Our Viva showgirls complete the cast line-up – bringing the moves of the 60s and 70s to the stage as well as backing vocals, and solo numbers of their own bringing the era back to life! The show also has a way of bringing current hits to life too, with that same Doo Wop style – again making OH WHAT A NITE! different to any tribute show you’ll ever see!
