What's on in Sleight

Dorset, England

Sleight sits tucked away in Dorset where the air feels a bit more relaxed than down on the coast. With no big venues to shout about, the real action happens in village halls and community centres that keep things moving smoothly. It is quite a trick for such a quiet place to pack so much local charm into its schedule. The nearest pubs often host quiz nights when the rain decides to stay put, while the library runs story times that are just as lively as any festival. Even without a stadium-sized stage, there is plenty of room for music, art, and family fun to take centre stage. We make sure you know what is on before you head out into the fields.

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.
