Book of Mormon
2026-03-26 19:30 - 22:00 | Prince of Wales Theatre, Coventry Street, London, W1D 6AS, United Kingdom
Not for the easily offended!!
The Book of Mormon follows the story of two young Mormon missionaries, Elder Price and Elder Cunningham, working to spread the word of the Latter Day Saints to the locals in a small town in Uganda. The LDS church members realise how daunting their task is when they discover the villagers are more concerned with the AIDS epidemic, oppression, and starvation.
Anyone familiar with South Park or the work of Trey Parker and Matt Stone would know that The Book of Mormon can get rather bawdy and crass at times! That being said, despite Parker and Stone’s in-your-face subject matter, the musical never received a backlash from members of the Church of Latter-Day Saints. In fact, the Mormon Church even stated the musical may be “entertaining for a day”, while also going on to add that “the book is always better” when it comes to theatrical adaptations.

You summoned him from Broadway, so now he is crossing over!
Get ready for the time of your afterlife with the supernaturally hilarious hit musical BEETLEJUICE! The spectacular Broadway sensation crosses over to the Prince Edward Theatre from May 2026 – for a limited haunting only.
Based on Tim Burton’s beloved movie classic, this wildly funny – and weirdly life-affirming – musical tells the tale of Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager sharing her home with a pair of newly-deads and the demonic ghost with the most, Beetlejuice. He’s dead trouble, but if you really want to feel alive, just say his name three times…
With a gleefully irreverent book, head-spinning set design and a score that’s out of this Netherworld, BEETLEJUICE is a ‘feast for the eyes and soul’ (Entertainment Weekly). Outrageous, but with a big (cold) heart, this is ‘screamingly good fun!’ (Variety) that’ll make you want to live – and make the most of every Day-O!

Be transported to 1830s London in Oliver!, Lionel Bart’s iconic musical that has been revised in an all-new production by Cameron Mackintosh with director and choreographer Matthew Bourne.
Oliver! in London is based on Charles Dickens’s 1838 novel, Oliver Twist. The musical tells the classic tale of a young orphan, Oliver Twist, who is seeking a home and family. Things aren’t easy on the streets of London, and soon enough, Oliver becomes part of a gang of child pickpockets. The musical examines the London underworld through a child’s perspective and explores themes of friendship, good vs. evil, poverty, and crime.
This exciting new revival boasts a stellar cast, including Simon Lipkin (Guys and Dolls, The Beaker Girls) as Fagin and Aaron Sidwell (EastEnders, Wicked) as Bill Sikes. The role of Oliver Twist is shared by Jack Philpott (The Witches, Matilda), Raphael Korniets (The Snowman), and Cian Eagle-Service (The Witches, Les Misérables).
With a captivating story and an exceptional score, including songs such as Food Glorious Food, I’d Do Anything, and Consider Yourself, it’s no wonder that over 60 years after it premiered, Oliver! is still a hit with audiences.

Royal Ascot - Ladies Day - Queen Anne Enclosure
2026-06-18 14:00 - 18:00 | Royal Ascot Racescourse, High Street, Ascot, SL5 7JX, United Kingdom
Ladies Day – Thursday 18th June will see us putting on posh togs and heading down to Royal Windsor for a day at the races.
We have tickets for The Queen Anne Enclosure
Please note there is a dress code that must be adhered to and entry will be refused for people not complying.
An unmissable experience at the heart of Royal Ascot. This enclosure is synonymous with spectacular racing, high fashion and extraordinary millinery views from the Grandstand and Parade Ring.
The Queen Anne Enclosure is the equivalent of flying business class and is the only public enclosure at Ascot Racecourse that offers views of the renowned Parade Ring.
While it might not be the most exclusive area of the course, it epitomises everything that is Royal Ascot. The Queen Anne Enclosure badge holders will enjoy unrivalled views of the action, beautiful woodlands and atmospheric terraces to watch the racing and Royal Procession.
Although guests will need to adhere to a dress code, rules for the Queen Anne Enclosure are less strict than the Royal Enclosure, making it the ideal base for entertaining.
The Dress Code for The Queen Anne Enclosure can be found on the Royal Ascot website. – What to Wear at Royal Ascot | Fashion Guide & Dress Code | Ascot Racecourse
To summarise, women should wear dresses and hats – and men in suits, shirt and tie and socks that cover the ankle.
Gates open at 1030am The racing is approximately 2pm to 6pm

We appreciate this is an extended pick up route for some, but we were only able to secure enough places for one coach. Rather than leave out Tiptree and Kelvedon, we thought we would add them should they be required. Obviously, you are welcome to drive to Gt Notley and collect coach from there.
