The Proclaimers
Live Music

The Proclaimers

Craig and Charlie Reid return in 2026 with a highly anticipated 13th studio album and a string of major live dates across the UK, including a Bexhill date. Following the phenomenal success of their 14-month “Dentures Out” world tour, which concluded in August 2023, The Proclaimers are back! The pair have announced their return to the live stage, promising an unforgettable series of shows for fans across the UK. Known for their unique blend of pop, folk, punk, and new wave, Craig and Charlie will perform all their classic hits, including “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)”, “Sunshine on Leith”, and “Letter from America”, alongside tracks from their forthcoming album. With a legacy spanning over three decades and inspiring a hit musical and film, The Proclaimers’ live shows are celebrated for their energy, passion, and big-hearted, uncynical songs. On BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island discs, David Tennant describes his first track by The Proclaimers – “I could have chosen any and every track from this band, probably my favourite band of all time. They write the most spectacular songs, big hearted, uncynical passionate songs.” Earlier this year after Coldplay had performed Sunshine on Leith on the BBC’s The Piano Room, Chris Martin said “There is a whole other world of music behind that song that I’ve just been discovering, and they’re a wonderful, wonderful band. Now we live in the age of coolness doesn’t mean anything, just quality and soul. The Proclaimers make more sense than ever.”

The Archers

Don your best hat, dust off your prize-winning jam recipe and join us for an unforgettable celebration of 75 glorious years of BBC Radio 4’s The Archers. ABOUT To mark this extraordinary milestone, The Archers is stepping out of the studio and onto the stage for a very special national tour. Hosted by comedian and superfan Angela Barnes and set at the beloved Ambridge Flower & Produce Show, this landmark event brings some of your favourite cast – Charles Collingwood (Brian Aldridge), Ryan Kelly (Jazzer McCreary), Susie Riddell (Tracy Horrobin) and Sunny Ormonde (Lilian Bellamy) – into the spotlight with live performances, on-the-spot sound effects from Vanessa Nuttall and unforgettable moments from the BBC archives. Along the way, you’ll have the chance to test your knowledge in The Bull Pub Quiz, sing along to the famous theme tune, put your own questions to the cast and enjoy behind-the-scenes revelations that Lynda Snell herself would be proud to draw out. And, in true Ambridge fashion, expect a little Flower & Produce Show chaos before the night is through. Warm, witty, and steeped in nostalgia, this unique tour celebrates the people, stories and unmistakable soundscape that have made The Archers a national treasure for generations. Experience Ambridge as you’ve never seen – or heard – it before! Cast appearances subject to availability. A commercial production licensed by the BBC.

Known the world over for his army of hits which include Thunder In My Heart, Moonlighting, One Man Band, I Can’t Stop Loving You, More Than I Can Say, Have You Ever Been in Love, The Show Must Go On and the transatlantic number ones, When I Need You, and of course, You Make Me Feel Like Dancing.

Tim Peake

With fewer than 650 people having reached Earth’s orbit, nobody is more qualified than Tim to celebrate the historic achievements and human endeavours of space exploration. Up until now, Tim has brought his own incredible journey to life through unparalleled storytelling and extraordinary archive footage. In this new show, Tim will share the remarkable stories of some of his fellow astronauts and explore the spectacular evolution of space travel. ABOUT From the first forays into space in the 1950s, to the first human missions destined for Mars, Tim will traverse the final frontier. As he recounts the awe-inspiring endeavours of astronauts across the ages, Tim will reveal what spaceflight is truly like: from the wondrous view of Earth, living in weightlessness, the unique dangers and unexpected moments of humour, to the years of training and psychological and physical pressures that an astronaut has to take on. Following his sold-out success in 2024, we are delighted to announce new venues for ‘Astronauts: The Quest to Explore Space’ this Autumn. The journey has only just begun…come and join Tim for this one-of-a-kind show launching at a venue near you! “Space has the capacity to inspire and fascinate people of all ages. It’s an honour to be able to share these unique experiences, which have forever changed how we look at the universe.” – Tim Peake

John Simpson

After successive sell-out tours, legendary journalist and broadcaster John Simpson CBE returns to the stage with a bold, unflinching look at leadership: why some inspire while others descend into tyranny. ABOUT With nearly 60 years of unparalleled access to world leaders—and lunatics—John will explore the personalities that have shaped history. From notorious figures including Putin, Assad, Saddam, Gaddafi—and Trump—to admired leaders such as Gorbachev, Mandela, Havel, and Zelensky, he’ll reveal their common threads, unique quirks, and lasting impact. What makes a tyrant? Are they mad, or more calculating than we’d like to believe? Will Trump’s deal-making bring peace, or give dictators room to manoeuvre? And in a world of wars and climate catastrophe, who’s actually leading? In the second half, the floor is yours. From the fall of the Berlin Wall to the collapse of the Soviet Union, from the Iranian Revolution to the Gulf Wars and Tiananmen Square, John has been there. This evening examines how sane societies slip into despotism, and how this can happen with unexpected ease. Ask your questions as John offers insights into past and present events, an enlightening evening for our troubled times.
