Event: The Nick Ross Orchestra - The Glenn Miller and Rat Pack Era - 7.30pm - Many years before the Beatles stepped onto the world’s most famous zebra crossing, Glenn Miller made his last known recording at London’s Abbey Road Studios on Monday 27th November 1944, just a few short weeks before he “disappeared” on December 15th of that same year. The lights soften, the mood settles. An audience waits for that first moment of sound. The Big Band is poised, relaxed, but with eyes anxious for the lead. And then, as if giving body to an echo, the murmured notes of ‘Moonlight Serenade’… and the night, it seems, is suddenly full and timeless. There are those who watch and listen who tap a shy finger to the melodies, others who follow with a silent foot-beat, still others who murmur softly through the lyrics, and those who simply permit a fleeting smile. But common to all are memories. Recapture the sounds of a bygone era as the Nick Ross Orchestra presents ‘an unmissable evening of music and song’ – the Classic Big Band Sound of the 1940s & 50s.

Event: Hurn Court Opera: La Cenerentola - 7.30pm - In this lively take on the Cinderella story, Rossini's opera combines irrepressible music, social comedy and poignant beauty. Rossini's Cenerentola - Angelina - gets no help from a fairy wand or glass slipper. Instead, her innate dignity and kindness prove her most powerful allies. While scheming shenanigans swirl around her, she maintains a quiet strength and belief in virtue that ultimately win the day. Let a cast of emerging opera stars and the Hurn Court Opera orchestra take you through the masquerades, malice and buffoonery that punctuate Angelina's change in fortune. Orchestra conducted by Lynton Atkinson. Directed by Joy Robinson.

Event: The Undercover Hippy - The Last Stand: UK Tour 2025 + Mad Apple Circus - 8pm - As the planet hurtles toward what feels like a never-ending season finale—chaos, climate crisis, and a world leader or two you wouldn’t trust with a toaster—The Undercover Hippy are stepping up to do what they do best: make sense of the madness, one song at a time. Based in Bristol and fronted by singer-songwriter Billy Rowan, The Undercover Hippy blend conscious lyrics with infectious grooves that hit harder than a tabloid headline. Their music fuses elements of reggae, hip-hop, and ska, serving up sharp social commentary wrapped in warm, danceable beats. Think The Specials meets Eminem, with a healthy dose of satire. But don’t let their easygoing sound fool you. The lyrics are sharp, addressing everything from corrupt politicians and corporate greed to the importance of compassion and unity in a fractured world. It’s this balance of humour and hard-hitting honesty that has won the band a dedicated fanbase across the UK and beyond.

Event: MA POLAINE - 8pm - The streaming take over has finally caught up with Ma Polaine. After years of self-sufficiency this fifth album needs a crowd funder to get completed. The songs are recorded, so with just the mix, master, pressing and promotion to pay for, we’re out on the road armed with our back catalogue and the new album pre-sales. Ma Polaine’s Great Decline are an award-winning band praised by MOJO Magazine for their unique blend of pop, folk, blues, and Americana. Ma Polaine’s music resonates as both comfortably familiar and refreshingly innovative, creating a truly engaging experience.

Michael Morpurgo's Farm Boy
Venue: Theatre Royal
1pm & 4pm
Michael Morpurgo's Farm Boy Adapted & directed by Daniel Buckroyd It sometimes felt as though time had stood still down on the farm - the old Fordson tractor quietly rusting away at the back of the barn, Grandpa tending his chickens - that is, until the summer his grandson came to stay, and the old man started telling stories of what it had been like when he was a boy. Following successful UK tours and a critically acclaimed run in New York, Michael Morpurgo's compelling sequel to War Horse returns to the stage in this delightful, family-friendly show combining drama, storytelling, and original music - a moving account of the changing face of the English countryside and a beautifully crafted reminder that stories really can reach out across the generations.
