atThird Class - A Titanic Story
19:30 - 20:45 1st October 2026
More InformationA one-man theatre show based on the life of Titanic survivor, Edward Dorking.
Edward was openly gay and on Wednesday, April 10th, 1912, he set sail for NYC on a ticket bought for him, by his parents in the hope his American family could put him 'right'.
Third Class charts Edward's journey from boarding the Titanic to swimming for 30 minutes towards an already full, collapsable lifeboat and how he, upon arriving in New York would tour the Vaudeville circuit, recreating the stories for a fact-hungry public.
But Edward didn't want fame; he wanted revenge.
When everyone was talking about the deaths of millionaires and society figures, few were discussing the people who took the lion's share of the losses that night: the third class.
Using music, movement, projection, and historical facts, Third Class tells the story of an unknown hero from a well-known story.

More InformationMETHERA
Friday 2 October
Village Hall, Rhydycroesau, Oswestry
8pm, £15 (child £8)Methera is a string quartet with roots firmly planted in English traditional music. Its four members combine a deep knowledge of traditional music with a wide range of other influences and expertise and a deep sense of musical interaction. Newly composed pieces sit alongside timeless traditional material; their music is both sophisticated and earthy, groundbreaking and familiar, enchanting and thrilling. Their national tours, BBC radio broadcasts and collaborations have helped them blaze a trail through the uncharted territory that lies between folk and chamber music. Their two fiddlers are Emma Reid, who is no stranger to Rhydycroesau – she’s played here in several combinations over the years – and Grace Smith, whose many other collaborations include a duo with Sam Sweeney. They are joined by cellist Lucy Elkiss, who studied under jazz violinist Omar Puente, and Miranda Rutter on viola, who often collaborates with the likes of Chris Wood, Rob Harbron and, again, Sam Sweeney.
The legendary Alistair Anderson called their music a 'joyous cauldron of sound’, while accordionist Karen Tweed described them as ‘a marvel of musicality’. You can hear clips on their website http://methera.co.uk. This will be a rare chance to see them on a short UK autumn tour.As usual, we strongly recommend advance booking as our concerts do sometimes sell out.
Tickets can be reserved by phoning Eirene on 01948 710218 or John on 01691 791403, or if you’re near Llansilin you can pick them up at Eirian’s organic shop Siop y Rhosydd.
No bar at Rhydycroesau so please bring your own drink and drinking vessel.

Shropshire Stamp and Postcard Fair
10:00 3rd October 2026
at Halls Auction Centre
ShrewsburyShropshire Stamp and Postcard Fair
10:00 - 16:00 3rd October 2026

Halls Auction CentreMore InformationLong-forgotten stamp collections are set to be valued at an upcoming Shropshire event, which also aims to attract existing and budding philatelists.
The Shropshire Philatelic Society is hosting its annual Stamp and Postcard Fair on Saturday 3rd October at Halls Auction Centre in Battlefield, Shrewsbury. Last year was among its most successful, attracting established collectors of stamps, postal history, and postcards, and those interested in starting the hobby from across the Midlands and beyond.
Also invited are those who may have a collection in their home gathering dust, perhaps handed down from a relative and now in long-term storage.
Society president Nick Webb said: “We know there are plenty of attics and cupboards out there containing stamp collections which may include valuable items. Often, these albums are handed down from generation to generation, but it’s easy to forget about them over time.
“Not only could finding them out and bringing them to the Fair prove useful for their owners, but it also means we may uncover rare or unusual stamps which have unknowingly been hidden away for many years – or even decades.
“The day is also the ideal opportunity for those considering stamp collecting as a hobby to come along and find out more. The great thing about stamps is that you can build a collection based around almost any theme you can think of – so people already interested in anything from art to astronomy, or science to sports, can build albums based on their existing passions.”
Open from 10am to 4pm, there will be 12 dealers on hand to meet attendees, alongside Halls valuation specialist Andy Neal.
Shropshire Philatelic Society was founded in 1947 and meets twice a month, with external speakers, an annual competition, and displays of members’ own material – which includes postcards and postal stationery as well as stamps.
For more information about the society or the fair, visit www.facebook.com/shropshirephilatelicsociety or contact Nick Webb on 07780 996241 or email ncvwebb@gmail.com.

Mark Thomas: 40 in Stand Up Years

atMark Thomas: 40 in Stand Up Years
20:00 - 22:00 12th October 2026

More InformationWhat?! Mark Thomas has been ‘standing up’ for 40 years? Impossible!! But how old does that make you…? Alas it is true; one of our oldest surviving alternative comics celebrates 40 years at the mic as he takes his brand-new show on the road this autumn.
So, here’s what he has done so far in numbers; performed comedy for 40 years, won 8 awards for performing, 4 for human rights work and 1 he invented for himself, made 6 series of the Mark Thomas Comedy Product (Channel 4), written 6 books and 5 play scripts, made 5 series of the Manifesto for Radio 4, made 3 Dispatches for Channel 4, sued the police (and won) 3 times, curated and authored 2 art exhibitions with artist Tracey Moberly and had 1 Guinness World Record for holding 20 protests in 24 hours.
If that’s not enough, he’s also walked 724km around the length of the Israel Wall in the West Bank, been credited with changing the law on tax avoidance, started a comedy club in Palestine with Dr Sam Beale and campaigned successfully for things like trade union recognition for cinema workers and getting multinationals to change their practices. You’re right, there’s more, but your attention is running out and we’re running out of space. So, let’s just say he’s generally mucked about trying to have fun and upset the right people…which he is really, really good at.
This is a taster menu of political and personal mayhem, jokes, rants and a state of the nation broadcast as he tries to turn ‘what the hell is going on’ into a cogent evening of stand-up.

Giant Games and Activities for Single People 25-45 years old in Shropshire
19:30 15th October 2026
at The Shropshire Golf Centre
TelfordGiant Games and Activities for Single People 25-45 years old in Shropshire
19:30 - 22:00 15th October 2026

More InformationA relaxed social event for single people aged 25-45 (or within 3 years of the age range) in Shropshire!
We’re bringing together 20–30 single men and 20–30 single women aged 25–45 for a relaxed evening of games, chatting and meeting new people.
What can you expect?
FUN. Lots of it!We’ll have around 12–15 giant games, including Connect 4, Tin Can Alley, Hoopla Ducks, Pitch & Putt and Giant Dominoes.
You’ll start in small mixed groups, with around 3–4 men and 3–4 women in each group. You’ll play a game together, have time to chat and get to know each other, then it’s time to move!
After each game, the ladies move clockwise to the next group and the men move anticlockwise.
This means that throughout the evening, every man will get the chance to meet every woman, and every woman will meet every man, without the pressure or formality of traditional speed dating.
At different points during the evening, we’ll mix everyone up again into new groups of around 4–8 people for a few fun, interactive challenges and team activities.
These are designed to get you talking and working together, so you get to see a little more of someone’s personality than you might from a quick conversation alone.
And don’t worry, you won’t need any special skills or knowledge. They’re just there to make meeting people feel easier and more natural.
You’ll also have a match card with you throughout the evening. If you meet someone you’d like to see again, simply write their name down.
At the end of the night, hand your card back to us. If you’ve both written each other’s names down, it’s a match! 💘
We’ll send you each other’s contact details the following day, and what happens next is entirely up to you.
I am only selling 30 men's tickets and 30 ladies' tickets - these singles events usually sell out, so don't overthink it.
A lot of people come along not knowing anyone and make friends; some people find love...everyone has fun - it's a social event. There is no pressure to find love if you are not looking for that; come along and spend time with some incredible single people!

Arthur's Plough 2026
14:30 17th October 2026
at Festival Drayton Centre
Market DraytonArthur's Plough 2026
14:30 - 17:00 17th October 2026

More InformationArthur’s Plough is back on stage!
The Fordhall Story in a fantastically funny Play with Music.
Fordhall Farm is to be put firmly back on the theatrical map this autumn with a brand-new version of the county’s legendary play about Fordhall Organic Farm.
As the farm celebrates 20 years in community ownership, Chris Eldon Lee has returned to revive and update the musical play, first performed in 1991.
At the time, the play’s subject, veteran organic farmer Arthur Hollins, brought his children Ben (then 7) and Charlotte (9) to every performance.
Having saved their tenanted farm for the nation by placing it into community-ownership, Ben and Charlotte Hollins - now in their 40s - persuaded Chris to re-embark on the project one last time. Joined by fellow producer Maggie Love, and musical director Mary Keith, the original delivery team are in place to deliver another entertaining show-stopper.
‘Arthur’s Plough - 2026’ will be performed under professional direction and management by a dozen of the best community actors in Shropshire, accompanied by the “Mere Singers” choir, which is being expanded for the occasion.
This will be a tremendous play celebrating Arthur’s Hollins’ journey into organic farming, his pioneering yoghourt factory, and more recently the fight to save their family home from industrial development and the innovative share scheme that has placed Fordhall on the map once again.
You’ll leave inspired by the power of collective community action, you’ll create a new passion for microbial life below the soil surface and, most importantly, you will have great fun along the way!
Author, Chris Eldon Lee says, “It’s a warm, loving and humorous play, expanded to tell both Fordhall’s pioneering stories. It has its serious moments, but the emphasis is very much on using comedy to unearth the story beyond the TV soundbite. There will definitely be singing pigs and dancing microbes.”
Tickets are restricted. To ensure you get yours book them early – this will be the last time this theatre performance is done live!

Described as a ‘master musician’ (Blues Matters), Amit Dattani, a distinctive voice in the folk scene released his much anticipated second album, Wrong Kind of One in September 2025
When acclaimed finger-style guitarist and songwriter Amit was diagnosed with a degenerative nerve condition in 2018, the prognosis was devastating: just two more years of playing guitar before his hands would no longer cooperate. For a musician whose artistry was deeply rooted in the strings beneath his fingertips, it felt like an ending. But Wrong Kind of One is proof that some stories don’t end the way they’re expected to -

More InformationHe’s the wild man of rock who became a national treasure. Happy Mondays and Black Grape frontman Shaun Ryder is hitting the road for a new, spoken word tour. The star of more-TV-shows-than-anyone-has-a-right-to-feature-on – including Celebrity Gogglebox, and I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, among many others – redefined the sex’n’drugs’n’rock’n’roll lifestyle during the halcyon age of Madchester.

Fans can look forward to a carnival of excess, wild tales, and improbable truths, as they enjoy the talents of a unique rock'n'roll star dubbed Britpop's answer to WB Yeats. Strap yourselves in and say Hallelujah for Shaun.

More InformationTom Fletcher’s interactive adventures for big imaginations are leaping from page to stage, as the beloved ‘Who’s in Your Book?' series tours the UK in a brand-new musical show.
A group of performers are preparing to start their show, but quickly discover they are not alone on stage. Little Monster wants to be part of the fun too! With an invitation to his friends, Dragon, Alien and Unicorn to join him, you can expect comedy and chaos as they help to create a magical show, learning about the joy of books and friendship along the way.
A high-energy 50-minute adventure featuring lively original music, this show is the perfect introduction to live theatre.
Expect plenty of playful fun for your littlest ones as their favourite characters come to life in a show that is packed with interactive moments to enjoy together.
New music composed by Tom Fletcher, Barry Bignold and Miranda Larson.
Tom Fletcher says, "Being part of the creative team has been a real joy and I’ve loved blending my passion for storytelling with live theatre. Back when we kicked things off in 2023, I never imagined we’d be heading out on a fourth national tour in 2026! It’s all thanks to the brilliant puppeteers, the magical puppets and the amazing families who keep coming back. I know taking kids to the theatre can be a bit daunting – but this show is made with young families in mind. It’s completely interactive, noisy in all the best ways and children are encouraged to shout, sing, clap and dance their hearts out!"

STORIES AND SONGS 2026
Acclaimed actor, singer, musician and writer — and proud Geordie icon — Jimmy Nail heads out on the road in 2026 with Stories and Songs, a series of intimate retrospective shows reflecting on an extraordinary seven-decade career.
From the landmark television series Auf Wiedersehen, Pet to Spender and then Crocodile Shoes — which spawned multi-platinum albums and chart-topping singles — Jimmy Nail has left an indelible mark on British popular culture. His career spans hit records, television series, major film roles including Evita and Still Crazy, and leading performances on both Broadway and London’s West End.
Following a recent run of sell-out shows in Newcastle, celebrating the songs of Crocodile Shoes, Jimmy now brings audiences something more personal.
Stories and Songs is a warm, witty and revealing evening that blends music, memories and rarely seen images. Audiences can expect candid anecdotes, moments of reflection, and a hand-picked selection of songs drawn from across his remarkable career.
And with a catalogue this rich, no two nights will be quite the same. From the 1992 UK number one “Ain’t No Doubt”, to “Love Don’t Live Here Anymore”, “Crocodile Shoes”, “Cowboy Dreams”, “Big River”, and music from film and stage, the choices are many—and the stories behind them just as compelling.
Jimmy will be joined on stage by long-time collaborator Tony Davis on keyboards and accordion, adding texture and atmosphere to these stripped-back, intimate performances.
An evening of Stories and Songs is not just a concert, it’s a journey—through music, memory, and a life lived on stage and screen.
