His versatility has seen him play to audiences of all sizes and backgrounds, winning them over with his infectious enthusiasm, swift wit and immense likeability.

‘The best act of the night, his quick wit silencing hecklers and getting plenty of laughs.’ Manchester Evening News
Stephen Carlin is a hilarious Scottish comedian who has received great critical acclaim, accolades and a growing fanbase with his original and insightful writing style and accomplished delivery.

Darby & Darby Navigating Later Life
This session is designed to take the fear and confusion out of life’s more difficult legal subjects. We’ll demystify wills, lasting powers of attorney, probate, inheritance tax, and care costs — breaking down complex rules into plain English. You’ll learn how each of these areas can directly affect you, your family, and your financial future, and gain practical insight into the key things you need to consider before making important decisions.
Unlike last year, we’ve built in much more time for questions and answers, so you can put your own situation to a real solicitor and get the answers you actually care about. There will also be more solicitors in the room, giving you the chance to have smaller, more personal conversations on the day. On top of that, we’ll cover what’s changed in the law recently, and what changes are on the horizon, so you leave feeling up to date.
During the session, there will be a 30 min coffee break with pastries and at the end at 1pm there will be a light complimentary buffet lunch and an informal opportunity to chat to the solicitors.
FREE TO ATTEND

Madfabulous (12A)
When the flamboyant Henry Paget arrives in 1890s North Wales to claim his aristocratic inheritance, his theatrical flair and defiant eccentricities send shockwaves through the upper-
class elite, much to the amusement of the local townspeople.
Alongside his spirited cousin Lily and loyal butler Gelert, Henry tries to carve out his own identity as the Fifth Marquess, navigating suffocating traditions, scheming relatives, and the long shadow cast by his estranged father.
Inspired by a true story, this riotous, uncompromising celebration of otherness, is led fearlessly by rising star and BAFTA nominee Callum Scott Howells (It’s a Sin, The Beautiful Game), joined by a stellar supporting cast of three-time BAFTA nominee Rupert Everett (The Happy Prince, An Ideal Husband), Ruby Stokes (Jay Kelly, Bridgerton), BAFTA winner Siobhán McSweeney (Derry Girls, Alice Through the Looking Glass), Louis Hynes (A Series of Unfortunate Events, The Great),
Louise Brealey (Sherlock, Brian and Charles), Tom Rhys Harries (White Lines, The Gentlemen)
and Paul Rhys (Wuthering Heights, Saltburn).

Les Liaisons Dangereuses
by Christopher Hampton
based on the novel by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos
directed by Marianne Elliott
BAFTA Award-winner Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread) joins Aidan Turner (Rivals) in a striking new staging of Christopher Hampton’s celebrated adaptation of the classic novel, where among the glittering salons of the super-rich, one misstep can mean ruin. Marquise de Merteuil is a master in the art of survival. Alongside the magnetic Vicomte de Valmont, they turn seduction into strategy and weaponise desire. But when their alliance collapses into rivalry, the battle between them threatens to destroy everyone in their path.
Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Marianne Elliott (Angels in America) directs this thrilling game of love, lies, and social warfare.

Our Land (12A)
OUR LAND
In England, a growing movement is pushing back against the fences that divide people from nature. Through bold mass trespasses, Right to Roam activists demand greater access to the countryside — but in doing so, they collide head-on with landowners who insist they are the true guardians of the land.
OUR LAND explores this clash with nuance and clarity. Weaving together past and present, it lays out the deep-rooted tensions between public access, private ownership and environmental stewardship. Voices from both sides are given space to speak: campaigners fighting for freedom to roam, and landowners defending their vision of protection and responsibility. As the struggle over who gets to enjoy — and care for — the natural world grows ever more urgent, the film poses a fundamental question: who does the land really belong to?
People’s Emergency Briefing (16+)
There will be a post-show discussion led by John Nightingale from the Habitat Group and local author/broadcaster Monty Halls’

The Christophers (15)
A mainstay of the London art scene since his starry breakout in the creative explosion of the 1960’s, Julian Sklar (Ian McKellen) has drifted into a cluttered, self-imposed seclusion. His two estranged children (James Corden, Jessica Gunning) enlist Lori (Michaela Coel), a young painter and sometime-forger, to pose as a prospective assistant and gain access to a fabled series of unfinished canvases Julian has buried deep in his home studio, in a deceptive bid to secure an inheritance for themselves.

The Hackensaw Boys
We are very excited to bring you a rare UK gig with the fine gentlemen from Hackensaw Boys!
The Hackensaw Boys are celebrating the 20th anniversary of their classic album ‘Love What You Do’ with an extensive European tour in 2025/26. They could have chosen any album from their deep catalogue, but ‘Love What You Do’ stands out as a fan and band favourite. This album, with its unique blend of bluegrass, punk, and folk, is a true monument to Americana.
‘Before string bands were a “thing” in popular culture, there was the Hackensaw Boys. Before The Avett Brothers were selling out arenas, before Mumford & Sons were becoming the biggest band in music in a given year, before everybody and their brother was growing a beard and wearing suspenders and playing in jug bands, the Hackensaw Boys were mixing bluegrass and old time music with a punk attitude, and reshaping what a modern old school string band could sound like’. — Saving Country Music.
You’ll find it impossible to sit still during this performance.

The North (15)
Bart Schrijver’s acclaimed drama follows former best friends and roommates Chris (Bart Harder) and Lluis (Carles Pulido), who meet up after a decade to hike Scotland’s West Highland Way and Cape Wrath Trail.
Having taken the same 350-mile walk in their youth, the pair hope to rekindle their once-strong friendship by spending 30 days together in the majestic, raw beauty of the Scottish Highlands.
But while Chris remains preoccupied with work and life back at home, Lluis is determined to finish the trail to prove he can still do it. Amidst the sweeping landscapes, harsh weather and chance encounters with other hikers, the solitude and silence of the trek force the pair to confront truths about themselves and their friendship – and find out what it truly means to stand still and listen.
Shot entirely on the route of the walk, and in chronological order, The North is a beautiful ode to friendship and the healing power of nature. It’s not only a poignant and powerful drama, but also perhaps the definitive hiking film, allowing us to take in the stunning majesty of the Highlands shoulder-to-shoulder with Lluis and Chris as they reconnect with each other and with nature.
Language: In English and Spanish and Dutch with English subtitles.
