Surinderella

‘a delightful blend of storytelling, music, dance and humour’ (Theatre Vibe) Back by popular demand for 2026, Rifco presents an evening of laughter, romance, and larger-than-life entertainment! Welcome to The Bolly-woods, where the naach is non-stop, the drama is bigger than your aunties, and the romance is straight out of a filmi blockbuster! Meet Surinder, sweet, strong, and stuck in a never-ending chore list thanks to her two selfie-obsessed, Insta-vlogging stepsisters, Lovely and Bubbly. Her only real support? The one and only Basanti, a cow with more attitude than a desi girl. Meanwhile, Prince Kavi is drowning in shaadi pressure from his royal family. But when he accidentally bumps into Surinder, sparks fly faster than a Bollywood dance sequence! Enter the fabulous Devi Godmother, arriving in full-on glam mode with magic, makeovers, and masala moves. With a dazzling Bollywood Ball, a mystical slipper, and a lot of bakwas, Surinder’s destiny is about to get a serious glow-up! Book your tickets now, before midnight strikes! Tickets £15 - £35

Wednesday Coffee Morning (Stanwell)

Wednesday Coffee Morning Our Wednesday Coffee Morning, in Stanwell, is a simple but cherished part of parish life — a time for friendship, laughter, and conversation shared over a cup of coffee (or tea!) and a slice of something delicious. Everyone is welcome — regular churchgoers and those who simply enjoy good company. It’s a chance to pause in the middle of the week, to meet new faces, catch up with old friends, and share the warmth of community. What makes our coffee mornings special is the way they bring people together: young and old, church and not, all gathered around the same table. In these small moments of kindness and connection, we see something of God’s joy and hospitality at work among us. Come as you are, stay as long as you like — there’s always a seat and a smile waiting for you.

The Portsmouth Ghost Walk

Starting at the ancient Square Tower on Broad Street, you'll be plunged into the murky world of Georgian Spice Island: a labyrinth of smuggler alleyways, rival gangs, ale houses, and shadowy "cat" houses that once lined Portsmouth's waterfront. Professional actors perform live scenes, stepping in and out of the story as you walk through the same streets Nelson's sailors once haunted.

More about Thorney

Buckinghamshire, England

Thorney sits quietly in Buckinghamshire, a spot where the pace slows down just enough to notice the local colour without needing a map. With no big venues nearby, the real fun happens at community groups and village halls that spring up whenever the weather turns crisp. It's the kind of place where neighbours know each other's names and the next gig or market is simply a conversation away. Near Here keeps an eye on what's drifting through the town so you can plan your Sunday stroll with a bit of local knowledge rather than guessing games.
