Some are newly single.
Some haven’t dated in years.

Third Class - A Titanic Story
19:30 1st October 2026
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.

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!
