How Soon Is Now? - 6 & 7 November 

New Year’s Eve, 1997. Manchester. In Déjà Vus’, Spin Jim is on the decks and ready to take you into the new year. The whole place is electric.

Three girls are on the dance floor. Polly and Angie are ready for a big night. Jean is lost and alone. The future awaits. New Labour, New Year, new horizons. After decades of grey, this is their time. But as midnight beckons, and darkness falls, will they find their light?

Set to a live soundtrack of indie classics, How Soon is Now? is an indie musical about mates, music and magic.

Close Enough To Touch - 9 November

A funny and intimate, queer, one-person play exploring sexuality, shame and… toilets.  

He’s lost in life. He doesn’t have a job, be doesn’t have a direction, but he does have a secret; he spends his days cruising men’s toilets, finding secret pleasure with strangers.

But over the course of the play, his secrets start to catch up on him, his shame builds, and the people around him start to pay the price…

It's a Wonderful Us - 24 November

Blending the warm, chaotic humour of the double act with the magic of Frank Capra’s much beloved film, this funny and heartfelt show traces one man’s journey with learning disabilities.

Performed by and co-created with a cast of learning-disabled and non-learning-disabled artists, it's a celebration of the fact that every life is wonderful, and sometimes all we need is a little nudge and a few good jokes to remember why...

Hammonds Band -10 January 

The ever popular Hammonds Brass Band returns for a fabulous afternoon of the best of brass music.

The award-winning band, one of the country’s premiere brass ensembles, was founded in 1855 by Sir Titus Salt as an amenity for the workers at his recently opened mill. The band later had a long association with Hammonds Sauce Works under the baton of the legendary Geoffrey Whitham.

Under the direction of Morgan Griffiths, Hammonds Band is now one of the country’s finest brass bands, performing in venues across the world. This is a special concert not to be missed.

Tickets are on sale to SJT Circle members until 10am, Monday 1 June, when general sale opens. Not an SJT Circle member? Head here to find out how to join from just £3.33 a month.
