Highlights of our winter and spring seasons
Latest news: Spring Season
We are coming to end to our Winter Season and now welcome you to our Spring Season We hope you enjoyed the festive season and were able to join in some of our sell out shows – A very Snowy Christmas, Arthur Christmas and of course the ever popular Leighton Buzzard Drama Group Pantomime.
Thank you also to everyone that took part in our community exhibition again this year, all your kind words were appreciated over this very busy time.
This spring season introduces a monthly cult classic film night. If you are saturated by reality talent shows on a Saturday night then the Cult Classics provide some must see films that are sure to spark a debate before, during and after. This season is kicked off with the 1965 classic Faster Pussycat Kill Kill. Also look out for The Iron Lady, currently sparking controversy and Oscar nomination nods as we go to print. As well as War Horse, and The Woman in Black – can the theatre, translate to the big screen we ask?
As always we are proud to host a diverse range of events from the local community including theatre and music and continue to work in partnership to bring Barnstormers comedy to Leighton Buzzard.
