By the time you read this, all of the Coronation celebrations and excitement will be over with just the end of May Bank Holiday to look forward to. WRONG! There’s still Last Minute Theatre’s QUIZARET! It’s a night of (very mixed) cabaret entertainment interspersed with fun quiz sections. You certainly don’t need to be an Egghead to join in and have a great evening!

Windmills and watermills are some of our landscape’s best-loved structures. These buildings are rooted in the nation’s agricultural life and are an integral part of the food supply chain. National Mills Weekend (13-14 May) will focus this year on ‘Millwrighting – Past and Present’. This celebrates the repair of wind and watermills which allows those important historical buildings to survive for future generations to come.

QUESTION: Where can you enjoy a first class night of entertainment unique to Last Minute Theatre?
