What's on in Barrow, Great

Dorset, England

Great Barrow sits snugly in Dorset and manages to be a proper hub for local fun without needing a massive city centre behind it. With no specific venues listed right now, we'll just say there's usually a good night out waiting around the corner if you know where to look. The town has that quiet coastal charm but still pulls its weight when it comes to finding something suitable for a Friday evening or a rainy Saturday. We keep an eye on what's going on so you don't have to waste time scrolling through endless lists of options. Just pop in and see what the locals are doing this week.

Starring Colin Baker (Doctor Who, The Brothers) as Sherlock Holmes & Terry Molloy (The Archers, Davros) as Dr Watson After their hugely successful portrayals as SHERLOCK HOLMES & DOCTOR WATSON in The Hound Of The Baskervilles, COLIN BAKER (Doctor Who, The Brothers) & TERRY MOLLOY (The Archers, Doctor Who) are back on stage in another classic adventure for the world’s only consulting detective! What has become of Captain Morstan and why does his daughter now receive a valuable pearl every year from an anonymous benefactor? What begins as a curious puzzle soon becomes a terrifying murder hunt, with the discovery of a missing fortune, a locked room and the murdered body of Bartholomew Sholto – but who committed these heinous, inexplicable crimes and how do they involve a map of the far-off Agra Fort? The case of The Sign Of Four stretches all of Sherlock Holmes’ powers of deduction in a mystery that was born in war-torn India and now stalks Victorian London, fuelled by the vengeance of a seemingly unstoppable, cut-throat band.
