The 1st to the 7th of June, saw the Hastings Comedy Festival, take over numerous venues across the town. Comedians flock to the seaside, using the event as one of their warm up gigs on route to the Edinburgh Festival. There is a huge programme to choose from, with most of the acts being…
We like to support, amateur dramatics within our community. Many of the productions are incredibly professional and ticket prices are kinder on the pocket. In the last few months, I have been fortunate to enjoy three plays, performed by three different companies. Come From Away There are some events during your lifetime, where…
When one of your good friends turns 50, she deserves a celebration , or two. Being one of the most organised people I know, I wasn’t surprised when she set up a group chat 7 months before the big day, inviting us to join her for a day out in London. She fancied a…
My brother and his family have been regular visitors to The Edinburgh Festival Fringe and have often commented that they think we’d really love it.
