In the neighbourhood where his crimes took place, a dead killer is resurrected through the nightmares of a gang of local teenagers and the sins of their parents. Director Wes Craven unleashes Freddy Krueger, memorably played by Robert Englund, in the original and often regarded as the best of the Elm Street movies. Also starring Heather Langenkamp, cult veteran John Saxon (Enter The Dragon) and a very young Johnny Depp (Pirates of the Caribbean), Craven’s imaginative, highly effective horror is an unforgettable genre classic.
“What makes Freddy truly terrifying, and an inspired invention on Wes Craven’s part, is that he exists not in the real world but in the shadowy realm of dreams.” Empire Magazine
PLUS!
A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge lives in infamy as a cult classic laden with subtext and remains one of the most layered and fascinating instalments to the franchise. Don't miss your chance to watch this campy, scary, funny but treasured sequel alongside the original. |

Based on Louisa May Alcott’s life, Little Women, follows the adventures of Jo, Beth, Meg and Amy March.

Little Women embodies the complete theatrical experience, guaranteeing a night filled with laughter, tears, and a lifting of the spirit.

Okay, I admit it. But who can honestly say they haven't blasted out a Wilson Phillips track or two in moments of wretched loneliness?! But here's an idea, rather than waiting for our beloved, or even hoping the one we've got, will stop making 'that noise' when they chew - we can start with 'loving the self'. Can mindfulness help us make peace with ourselves and things as they are, right now?
Please feel free to bring a blanket/yoga mat or pillow, so you have the option to lie down and get comfy.
During the course of 2019, these monthly workshops will include key elements of the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and Cognitive Therapy teaching models, as well as the Insight Meditation method used by world leading mindfulness teacher and clinical psychologist Tara Brach.
Lyn O’Donnell is The Mindful Delinquent. Imperfect, reluctant, renegade meditator, writer, teacher, coach and speaker. |

In April 2018, Edgelarks (Phillip Henry and Hannah Martin) retreated to a remote cottage in Ulpha, western Cumbria. They breathed in the mountain view, banked up the fire, and took their instruments out of their cases. Then they sat down, and wrote. In escaping the everyday chaos of busy lives, they realised how caught up in the misery of the 24 hour news cycle they were; absorbed in the heartbreak of the world, they had lost sight of its beauty. Tired of the navel-gazing tendencies of sad song writing, and the terrible events frequently depicted in the folk ballad tradition, they decided to turn their attention to an oft overlooked but vital facet of our lives: hope.
Swiftly, a set of songs and tunes emerged. Stories of wonder from the natural world; tales of rejoicing and long lost returns; and simple thanksgiving for their own surroundings and place in the landscape. Informed by world rhythms, British folk roots, and the duo's penchant for making as much noise as possible with only two people, the album is an upbeat celebration, an incitement to hope.
Edgelarks tour a very special run of preview concerts in March 2019, where audiences will get a first glimpse of the new material. The album will launch with an accompanying tour in May 2019. |
