Darker Tales & Fairy Stories for Grown Ups...
All good stories get better the later and darker it becomes.
Join storyteller Gav Cross and perhaps a late night ghost or two.
Certainly a twist on some old classics.
Almost certainly a smile.
Perhaps a nervous glimpse over the shoulder?
As we scratch our way into the darker routes of the stories we think we know.“Gav Cross treats children like they're horrible and adults like they're children and the results are hilarious and magical. Gav brings energy, joy and a refreshing approach to traditional storytelling, getting the audience involved and keeping them on their toes with the unexpected twists and turns of his tales.”
Larmer Tree FestivalThe audience were hooked by every word as they were led a merry dance through stories.”
Pound Arts“... just on the right side of darkly comic... ”
Bluecoat, Liverpool“A masterclass of storytelling!” ****

Ladies Night at Albrighton Hall – For Single Ladies Who Want to Make Friends
📍 Albrighton Hall, Shrewsbury
📅 8th May 2026Making friends gets harder the older we get.
People settle down, routines change, and suddenly it’s not as easy to just “meet new people” anymore.
This night is here to change that.
It’s a space for single women to meet, chat, and build new friendships, without any pressure or awkwardness.
How the evening works
First Hour – Getting to Know Each Other
This part is structured so you don’t have to think about who to talk to.• You’ll move around in small groups
• You’ll have simple conversation starters to get things flowing
• There’ll be a few light games to make it easierIt’s relaxed, guided, and takes away that “where do I start?” feeling.
Then… the Disco
Once everyone’s warmed up, we move into a proper night out.
• Music
• Dancing
• Chatting with the people you’ve metTheme: Pyjama Party (optional)
We encourage you to come along in your comfy pjs - but this is optional, so if this isn't for you, no pressure, come along in something you do feel comfortable in.
Who it’s for
• Single ladies of any age who want to meet new friends.
Coming on your own?
Most people will be.
That’s exactly why it works.Spaces are limited
This has been highly requested and is expected to fill, so don't wait! -

15:00 - 17:00 30th August 2026
More InformationShakespeare's classic comedy brought to joyful life by an all-female company
In a world where singing is banned and love is forbidden, the Forest of Arden provides a haven for outlaws to revel in a creative rebellion where love blossoms on every branch.
About the Show:
Duke Frederick has banished his brother, and along with him, banished all joy from the court. Under Frederick’s puritan regime, there is no singing, no art and certainly no falling in love. So, when Rosalind falls in love with a young wrestler, Orlando, she is banished from the court.
Disguised as a man, Rosalind flees to the Forest of Arden, along with her cousin Celia and the fool Touchstone. There they find a joyful rebellion of song, poetry and theatre. Rosalind’s father, with his band of outlaws, sing and revel in their wild woodland life, while shepherds roam with love always on their minds and Orlando fills the wood with poetry proclaiming his love for Rosalind.

Wollerton Old HallMore InformationGarden open for charity
Four acre garden created around C16 house (not open). Formal structure creates variety of gardens each with own colour theme and character. Planting is mainly of perennials many in their late summer and early autumn hues, particularly the asters.
Created 40 years ago around a Tudor house (not open), this quality garden has been extensively filmed by all major TV channels and also Japanese TV.
Designed by the owner, Lesley Jenkins, this outstanding garden combines a strong structure with clever planting combinations using perennials. The early spring shows of anemones, hellebores and trilliums are followed by tulips, aquilegias and oriental poppies. The summer roses herald the arrival of the delphiniums which in turn give way to the dominance of stately hollyhocks and vibrant phlox. August sees the hot garden ignited which still burns when the asters and euonymus seed capsules arrive in September.
Featured on Monty Don's British Gardens- Ep3 (2025).
