Comedy

Shakespeare In The Garden: The Comedy Of Errors

The Festival Players return, performing Shakespeare’s high-energy comedy, where confusion occurs when two pairs of identical twins, shipwrecked and separated as babies, end up many years later in the same town and are repeatedly mistaken for each other. We are hoping for good weather, despite the title of the play, but the show will go on if we have to hand out umbrellas. Open 1.30 pm for picnics. Bring your own seating. Well-behaved dogs welcome. Open to all. This performance coincides with Clare Smout’s APPRECIATING SHAKESPEARE course, which will focus on this play and includes a ticket to the performance.

Ceildh with Bald Mountain String Band in Aid of St Mary's Church

This ceilidh is supporting St Mary’s church in Threlkeld which has been at the centre of village life for many centuries. It was last refurbished 250 years ago. We want to celebrate this in style! However, now the church needs to be repaired and refreshed for the next couple of hundred years. We seek for the church to continue traditional and enlivened Christian worship eg. Messy church or dramatisations but also to be able to provide warmth and better hospitality to those using the church eg. School activities, mums and babies and social groups for older people and those living with difficulties . We are undertaking repairs and installing a new heating system (air source heat pump for sustainability) and insulation. There will also be provision of a toilet and kitchen and the removal of the centre pews to give a flexible space for activities. The profits from this ceilidh will go towards this project. Bald Mountain String Band started in the 60s as the Berkshire Tragedy, Peter and Chris, along with concertina and melodeon player, and clog dancer, Ian Dunmur, played together until Chris and Peter moved to the Lakes in 1987. They are now a family band, joined by daughter Jo and her husband Mick. Hence, Bald Mountain String Band was born.
