'Big landscape' painting course with Helena Clews
Big Landscapes
Colour, Mark & Scale
Explore the drama, colour and scale of the landscape in this five-week painting course.
Over the first three sessions, we will experiment with different ways of approaching landscape through composition, expressive mark-making, texture, colour and atmosphere. These exploratory sessions will help you develop ideas and discover a way of working that feels individual to you.
In the final two weeks, you will bring these ideas together to create a larger landscape painting on canvas, with guidance on building up layers, simplifying forms, creating depth and knowing when a painting is finished.
The course is suitable for a range of abilities, whether you are relatively new to painting or would like to loosen up and develop a more expressive approach to landscape.
Materials
Please bring:
• A selection of landscape images or photographs that inspire you
• A2 sketchbook or cartridge paper
• Pencils and/or charcoal
• Acrylic paints
• A selection of brushes, including at least one larger brush
• A palette or something suitable for mixing paint
• Water pot and cloth/rag
• Apron or old shirt
During the course we may also experiment with materials such as oil pastels, ink and simple mark-making tools. Further guidance will be given during the first sessions.
For the final two weeks, you will need a stretched canvas or canvas board. Recommended size and options will be discussed during the course so that you do not need to purchase this in advance.
Workshop Cost £165 for a block of 5 classes (includes complimentary hot drinks and biscuits)

Steve Morgan presents An Evening with Jack the Ripper
Whitechapel. 1888. Between August and November, a series of women are brutally murdered. The identity of the killer remains a mystery. Until now..?
It’s the greatest unsolved case in criminal history. One that continues to confuse and confound. Generating argument, debate and a host of different theories.
Who was he?
What was his motive?
And how did he get away with it?
‘An Evening with Jack the Ripper’ will delve into the sordid realms of Victorian London in an attempt to finally unmask the man, with the blackest of hearts, who preyed upon the most vulnerable members of society. Award winning producer and broadcaster Steve Morgan has captivated thousands of people on his celebrated ‘Ripper walks’ through the east-end of London, where he retraces the steps of the notorious killer through the streets he stalked.
Now he has adapted the story for the stage and invites you to spend an evening in the company of Jack the Ripper and live to tell the tale.
A BIT ABOUT STEVE MORGAN…..
A long-standing student of the crimes of Jack the Ripper and the era that spawned them. Steve’s obsession with the Whitechapel murders began in childhood and it’s one that he’s shared with thousands of others who’ve joined him for his celebrated ‘Jack the Ripper Walks’ through the east-end of London, where he’s enthralled, entranced and entertained people from all over the world. A previous winner of Leicester Comedy Festival’s prestigious ‘Comedian of the Year’ and an award-winning producer. His career in TV and radio has seen him work alongside an eclectic mix of people such as – Michael Portillo, Noel Gallagher, Mariella Frostrup, Ian Wright, and Wolf from Gladiators (from the old series that is…..not the new one).
And now, having honed this show on the very streets where the murders took place, he invites you to join him on a voyage into the dark heart of Victorian London.

The show celebrated an Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025 sell-out, and it will include a Q&A and meet-and-greet with Cally (who knows, Jeff the wonder dog may even be there too).

GIANT : The Play (15)
GIANT – The Play
GIANT, the 5-star critically acclaimed play starring John Lithgow (Killers of the Flower Moon, The
Crown) as Roald Dahl, comes to the big screen. Winner of 3 Olivier Awards® including Best Play and a Tony Award® for Best Actor in a Play (John Lithgow), the production was filmed live in London’s West End ahead of its sold-out Broadway run. The stellar cast includes Aya Cash (The Boys, The Franchise, You’re the Worst), Elliot Levey (Cold War, Patriots, Good) and Rachael Stirling (The Divine Mrs S).
A world-famous children’s author under threat. A battle of wills in the wake of scandal. And one
chance to make amends...It’s the summer of 1983, The Witches is about to hit the shelves and Roald Dahl is making last-minute edits. But the outcry at his recent, explicitly antisemitic article won’t die down. Across a single afternoon at his family home, and rocked by an unexpectedly explosive confrontation, Dahl is forced to choose: make a public apology or risk his name and reputation.
Inspired by real events, GIANT explores with dark humour the difference between considered
opinion and dangerous rhetoric offering a complicated portrait of a fiendishly charismatic icon

Pauline Eyre - Anyone for Tennis?
ANYONE FOR TENNIS?
A Wimbledon line judge for 20 years, comedian Pauline Eyre is ready to spill the Pimms on tennis gossip from the fragrant royal box to the musty locker room, and why line judges are OUT!
Expect smashing stories, ace anecdotes and a 40-love letter to the game. And there’s nobody to say ‘quiet please’. She cannot be serious...can she?
“Laughs aplenty...juicy locker room secrets...naughty line judge-y anarchy...motivational joy...Nice.”5***** North WestEnd
"What makes the hour land is the marriage of insider authority and properly honed comic timing. It’s not just a love letter to a game; it’s a blueprint for turning an obsession into a well-structured, laugh-out-loud show.”4**** One4Review

Peter Knight’s Gigspanner Trio
Peter Knight’s Gigspanner Trio
"There’s something of the proverbial elder statesman about Peter Knight, in terms of his place in music, which cannot be overstated. It’s not just in the quality of his playing...there’s a focus on the sheer inventiveness of Peter’s playing, in the adventurous arrangements he shares with his collaborators, and in his musical leadership” Northern Sky Magazine
Since his inaugural performance with the fledgling Steeleye Span in 1970, Peter Knight has been a mainstay of the British folk scene. Never one to rest on his laurels, Peter has carved a reputation as a relentlessly questing musician “as mercurial as quicksilver”, and it is never quite so apparent as in his work with the various Gigspanner line-ups.
The Gigspanner Trio is the beating heart from which all other lineups have evolved, and the one most loved by many for the intimacy and joy manifest in their virtuosic performances. Audiences revel in the opportunity to witness ‘up close and personal’ the almost telepathic communication that exists between Peter, guitarist Roger Flack and hand percussionist, Sacha Trochet.
Described by Folk Radio UK as one of the “most quietly brilliant sets of musicians in the folk world and beyond”, they take self-penned material along with music rooted in the British Isles and beyond, and with the flick of a bow, a finely chosen chord or slip of a beat, produce richly atmospheric arrangements “with notes seemingly plucked from the stars and rhythms from the equator” (Spiral Earth).
“Music of intelligently crafted brilliance” 5***** Songlines Magazine
“Some of the most beautiful music the genre has to offer” 5***** Maverick Magazine

Queen Budapest (12A)
On July 27, 1986, Queen performed the largest-ever stadium concert at the Népstadion in Budapest in front of 80,000 ecstatic fans. The concert was part of the famed Magic Tour, which was the last time the band toured with lead singer Freddie Mercury. Now, this original concert film has been beautifully rescanned and remastered in 4K alongside a dynamic new audio mix, featuring many of Queen's favourite tracks—"Bohemian Rhapsody,” "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," "I Want To Break Free” and "We Are The Champions." With three years to go before the fall of the Berlin Wall, this was the first Western rock concert performed in a stadium behind the then Iron Curtain. It was of such significance to the Hungarian authorities and film industry that a group of the country’s top film cameramen and technicians were brought together to film it for posterity.

RBO present ALICE’S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND 27 (Rating TBC)
The Royal Ballet present ALICE’S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND
At a garden party on a sunny afternoon, Alice is surprised to see her parents’ friend Lewis Carroll transform into a white rabbit. When she follows him down a rabbit hole, events become curiouser and curiouser…As Alice journeys through Wonderland, she encounters countless strange creatures. She’s swept off her feet by the charming Knave of Hearts, who’s on the run for stealing the tarts. Confusion piles upon confusion. Then Alice wakes with a start. Was it all a daydream?
Christopher Wheeldon’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland burst onto the stage in 2011 in an explosion of colour, stage magic and inventive, sophisticated choreography. Joby Talbot’s score combines contemporary sound worlds with sweeping melodies that gesture to ballet scores of the 19th century. Bob Crowley’s wildly imaginative, eye-popping designs draw on everything from puppetry to projections to make Wonderland wonderfully real. The result shows The Royal Ballet at its best, bringing together world-class dance with enchanting family entertainment and ingenious music and design.

RBO present COSÌ FAN TUTTE (Rating TBC)
The Royal Opera present COSÌ FAN TUTTE
Spurred on by a bet, two young men hatch a plan to test the fidelity of their girlfriends. What follows is a slippery game of seduction and power, the four lovers plunging into a dizzying world of shifting reality, where truth becomes increasingly unstable. Così fan tutte has lost none of its sting since it first scandalised audiences in 1790. In her Main Stage debut, Netia Jones, Associate Director of The Royal Opera, reimagines Mozart’s comedy of manners through a sharp contemporary lens, where 18th-century romantic trickery meets deeply satirical high-tech deceit. Taking on the roles of the lovers is an exciting young cast led by Louise Alder, Simone McIntosh, Mingjie Lei and Huw Montague Rendall, with Gerald Finley as their manipulative game-master Don Alfonso and Emily Pogorelc as Despina. Thomas Hengelbrock conducts, bringing out the exquisite melodies that underpin the provocative, and resolutely modern, themes at the heart of the opera.

Synopsis:
An earth in ruin. The twilight of the Gods. Deception leads to treachery, then devastation, when Siegfried is tricked into betraying Brünnhilde. Learning the truth of her beloved’s innocence, Brünnhilde at last returns the ring to the Rhinemaidens, before ordering that Valhalla be swallowed in flames. For the long-awaited finale of Wagner’s epic saga, director Barrie Kosky situates the rich apocalyptic drama in a contemporary world of dream-like turmoil. Antonio Pappano, Conductor Laureate of The Royal Opera, returns to take on the impassioned, otherworldly music – including Siegfried’s transporting Funeral March and Brünnhilde’s electrifying Immolation Scene. The brilliant cast is led by Elisabet Strid, Andreas Schager and Mika Kares, who together with the full forces of the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House and the Royal Opera Chorus bring opera’s greatest journey to its shattering end.

RBO presents Manon (Rating TBC)
The Royal Ballet presents MANON [Revival]
Synopsis:
In the seedy underbelly of 18th-century Paris, money is king. Nothing is sacred – even love itself can be bought for the right price. A native of this hedonistic underworld, Manon is caught between twin desires when she falls in love with the student Des Grieux. Steadfast and devoted, he offers the possibility of an honourable life. Yet, the riches promised by the world of Parisian society remain tempting...
Manon’s inner turmoil and struggle for survival lie at the devastating heart of Kenneth MacMillan’s 1974 adaptation of Abbé Prévost’s novel. In this signature work of The Royal Ballet, MacMillan’s nuanced understanding of human psychology makes for an unflinching look into the moral degradation of Manon’s Paris, while all its decadence and decay are brought to life through Jules Massenet’s score and Nicholas Georgiadis’s designs.

The Budapest Café Orchestra 2026
Refreshingly unconventional and snappily attired boutique orchestra BCO play gypsy and folk-flavoured music in their unique and surprising way. From Balkan and Russian traditional music to their artful distillations of Romantic masterworks to soaring Gaelic folk anthems, BCO is an infectious musical experience and like none other.
With 16 albums to their name Budapest Café Orchestra was established by British composer and violinist Christian Garrick in 2009. A diminutive ensemble of just four players, the BCO creates an astonishing soundscape and aural alchemy characteristic of larger ensembles, combining violin, guitar, accordion, double bass, saz, balalaika, domra and percussion to dazzling effect.
Evoking vivid images of Tzigane fiddle maestros, Budapest café life and gypsy campfires - plus a few surprises along the way - hugely entertaining, immense skill and profound musicianship.
A show by the BCO is enough to make you want to book that holiday down the Danube!

The Explorer Series : Simon Yates of Touching the Void – My Mountain Life
SIMON YATES OF TOUCHING THE VOID - MY MOUNTAIN LIFE
A fascinating and humorous evening, acclaimed by both regular theatre patrons and outdoor enthusiasts alike!
On the remote Siula Grande in Peru in June 1985, mountaineer Simon Yates found himself in a desperately unenviable position. He was slowly being pulled off the mountain face by his injured partner, Joe Simpson, dangling on the rope 50 metres below. His decision to cut the rope saved both their lives in the epic of survival that followed and with the publication of the book ‘Touching The Void’, later film and stage play, both climbers became household names.
It was an experience that could have put many off the sport of mountaineering - but not Simon. Over 35 years later, he is still a very active exploratory climber and guide, making several expeditions to the mountains each year. From the Arctic to the Antarctic, Alaska to Central Asia there is hardly a significant range that he has not visited.
Come along and witness Simon’s tireless journey from that mountain in Peru to some of the remotest on the planet and share with him the drama, excitement and beauty of modern, lightweight alpinism. Told with wit, dry humour and lavishly illustrated with images and film collected on his great climbs.
“Simon is a totally engaging speaker, who both entertains and inspires.”

The Inn Theatre Company Lunatics and Fools
Lunatics and Fools
Madness is a recurring theme in Shakespeare's plays. There are characters who go mad, characters who pretend to go mad, and characters who try to send others mad. Not to mention Shakespeare's fools, who may seem bonkers but often speak more sense than anyone else.
Modern attitudes to mental health, madness and insanity are very different from those of the 16th century, but Shakespeare's depictions of people in mental torment is often strikingly recognisable.
The Inn Theatre Company has put together a mad, crazy evening of scenes from Shakespeare's plays on the theme of insanity, Lunatics and Fools. There will be characters you know well, such as Ophelia, Feste and King Lear, alongside some you might not be expecting. So please come and join us. You'll be surprised, informed, amused, shocked and, above all, entertained.
The Inn Theatre Company draws performers from across south Devon for their productions, which include a week of open-air performances in the idyllic setting of Dartmouth Castle every summer.
The success of their recent shows, Heroes, Villains & Lovers and Dreams, Charms & Phantoms, has inspired them to put together this new and intriguing collection of scenes from Shakespeare.

Tomatoes Tried To Kill Me But Banjos Saved My Life
"Anyone who loves an underdog story, step this way and be ready to laugh and weep in equal measure." ***** North West End UK
Everyone has a story. Your stories matter.
Keith Alessi was neither a performer nor a musician before taking to the stage. He was an accountant and corporate CEO! He now shares his unconventional true story of overcoming great obstacles - including cancer - and how the healing power of music brought him back home to himself. The grassroots sound of the banjo lures you in and brings you back to a simpler time in life, as Keith takes you on his journey.
'Tomatoes Tried To Kill Me But Banjos Saved My Life' has been highly awarded and reviewed while touring internationally and has profoundly affected audiences everywhere. Themes of forgiveness and the importance of pursuing your passions resonate throughout. The variety of Keith's banjos that join him on stage are all characters and played important roles in his journey.
This is more than a show, it's a cause. Keith never accepts any form of remuneration for his performances, instead choosing to donate to charities and theatres in support of artist development. As of Jan 2026 Keith has raised over $1.2 Million CAD for these causes - so your ticket fee will go towards our Flavel Forever Campaign.

Totally Unhinged Productions present Ciderella (16+)
Ciderella is an adult Christmas show with a twist. Come and join us for some good cheer as we welcome Villages in Action to the Flavel.
A local amateur dramatics theatre company, The Plymuff Players, want to perform the classic Cinderella, but in their haste, one of the team misses out the ‘n’ on the marketing materials and can’t afford to reprint the posters. Forced to make the best of things, their new hastily devised show follows middle aged barmaid Ciderella as her stepmother Red Ruth and the local hipsters try to thwart her from attending Barry Beer’s Ball. All this while she navigates the menopause, think glittery HRT patch instead of a glass slipper. Will the team crack under pressure, or will they deliver the performance of their lives? Part mockumentary, part comedy, Ciderella promises to be a magical night of theatre you’ll never forget, however hard you might try.
Written, directed and performed by award-winning writer Laura Horton, comedians Edward Tripp, Suzy Bennett and Sam Crawley.
Produced by Totally Unhinged Productions
Reviews
“A riotous reimagining of the Cinderella fairytale.” Plymouth Theatre Review
“Brilliantly performed…Ciderella is an unadulterated barrel of laughs.” Theatre Review

Track Dogs
A true live act, Track Dogs bring the sunshine and the party with their foot-tapping, heart-springing brilliance. These 4 charismatic acoustic troubadours deliver a rousing good time with their mix of Americana, Latino, Country, folk, funk, Blues and Bluegrass. Overflowing with musical talent and with humour never far away, theirs is an irresistible flavour of brass-fuelled, sing-along, dance-along music.
The band comprises two Irishmen, an Englishman and an American (Garret Wall, Dave Mooney, Howard Brown & Robbie K. Jones). Their success is certainly no joke! Whether on a festival main stage or in a basement club singing around one mic, Track Dogs delight in entertaining audiences with their infectious original songs and covers that get everyone singing.
Their wonderful 4-part harmonies have drawn comparisons to groups such as Crosby, Stills & Nash, America, Calexico and Manu Chao. Garret’s warm, distinctive lead vocals and upbeat yet lyrically deep songwriting are central to the sound. Band members sometimes take their turn to lead on particular songs, to great effect. The band plays an ever-developing array of instruments including acoustic guitar, electric base, trumpet, cajon, banjo, ukulele, mandolin, flugelhorn and piano.
Track Dogs effortlessly spread their infectious sunny vibe - RNR Magazine
