What's on in Hidcote Boyce

Gloucestershire, England

Hidcote Boyce sits quietly in Gloucestershire where the air feels a bit more settled than in the big cities. There are no famous venues listed yet, but that just means you can find a local gathering or community meeting without needing a ticket to get in. It is a place where neighbours know each other and the news travels fast through word of mouth rather than screens. The village has a charm that comes from its history and the green spaces around it. You might stumble upon a seasonal market or a small performance happening down the road if you take time to look. Near Here keeps an eye on what is going on so you do not have to wander blindly through the countryside looking for a reason to stop.

Alan Johnson: The Beatles, Harold Wilson & Me

The Right Honourable Alan Johnson is one of the most respected politicians of recent times, holding several posts in the Blair and Brown governments including Health Secretary, Education Secretary and Home Secretary. But all the while he harboured a secret passion – to become a pop star!In The Beatles, Harold Wilson & Me, Alan charts his remarkable story from growing up an orphan in a slum in West London to the corridors of power and the surprising ways the lives of The Beatles and his political hero Harold Wilson interwove with his.Guaranteed to delight Baby Boomers everywhere, this is a nostalgic but unsentimental look back at post-war Britain and how the great figures of the age influenced the country we live in today. Alan might never have quite made it onto Top of the Pops, but arguably his impact on public life is all the greater for it. As John Lennon once sang, “life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.”

FEUDING FOUNDERS COLLECTIVE | Feuding Founders: The Untold Drama of Silas Deane, John Jay, and the Lees of Virginia

Purchase Tickets We tend to remember the founders as marble men — monumental, unified, certain. The truth is messier and more interesting. The Feuding Founders Collective is a multi-site public history initiative that humanizes Silas Deane, John Jay, and the Lee brothers of Virginia — men who were in conversation, in collaboration, and sometimes in conflict with one another. Presented in partnership with Jay Heritage Center (NY), Friends of John Jay Homestead, and Menokin and Stratford Hall (VA), this series destabilizes the one-dimensional portraits we’ve inherited and invites audiences to sit with the full complexity of these lives: the ambition and the insecurity, the idealism and the grudges, the smear campaigns and the shared cause. In an era of weaponized media and public takedowns, these 250-year-old stories feel less like history and more like a mirror — and understanding how the founders navigated political polarization, character assassination, and the tension between principle and self-interest may be one of the most useful things the past can offer us right now. Three sites. Three perspectives.
