Isolation Creations: Pink Pony Club -15 February

Saddle up, lovers, loners and lusty legends; the Haus of Games is back, and this time we’re trotting straight into the Pink Pony Club!

It’s Valentine’s season, but not as you know it. Whether you’re coupled, throupled, freshly dumped or just plain desperate, everyone’s invited for bingo, banter and a load of old balls!

Honk! In Concert - 12 April

A one-off concert performance of Stiles & Drewe's award-winning adaptation of one of the world's most beloved fables, The Ugly Duckling, raising money for the SJT.

 Ugly looks quite a bit different from his darling duckling brothers and sisters. The other animals on the farm are quick to notice and point this out, despite his mother's protective flapping. Feeling rather foul about himself, the little fowl finds himself on an adventure of self-discovery, all the while unknowingly outwitting a very hungry Cat. Along the way, Ugly meets a whole flock of unique characters and finds out that being different is not a bad thing to be.

The original production of Stiles & Drewe's musical Honk! opened at the SJT in 1997. Since then, it’s winged its way around the world in over 8,000 productions winning multiple awards including the 2000 Olivier Award for Best Musical.

The Gruffalo - 8 - 10 May

Tall Stories’ much-loved magical, musical adaptation of the classic picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler returns by popular demand, celebrating the show’s 25th anniversary.

On a daring adventure in search of hazelnuts, Mouse meets the cunning Fox, the eccentric old Owl and the high-spirited Snake. Will the story of the scary Gruffalo save Mouse from ending up as dinner for these hungry woodland creatures? After all, there’s no such thing as a Gruffalo – is there?

Songs, laughs and mischievous fun for children aged 3+ and their grown-ups.

Raven's Spring Fling - 17 May

Raven are delighted to be returning to the McCarthy to celebrate the joy, happiness and wonder of springtime!

This six-piece, multi-instrumental band will take you on a musical journey with their original songs and traditional music to welcome this lovely season.

10CCLO - 11 June

Dreadlock Holiday, Mr Blue Sky, I’m Mandy Fly Me, Evil Woman, The Things We Do for Love, Wild West Hero, Life is a Minestrone, Living Thing, Art for Art’s Sake, Telephone Line, I’m Not In Love… remember these timeless classics? Just a few of the massive global hits that make up the enduring repertoire of two of the best loved bands of all time - 10cc and The Electric Light Orchestra.

10CCLO are the only tribute band to cover both of these iconic bands' repertoires together in one fantastic show.

Isolation Creations: Tarts with Soggy Bottoms - 19 July

Roll up, roll up for the most gloriously daft summer fête this side of the village green! 

The Isolation Creations are putting up the bunting and dusting off the tombola for Tarts with Soggy Bottoms, a deliciously silly summer show packed with bingo, bonkers games, cheeky prizes and plenty of cream horns!

Join in the fun by dressing to impress – think The Vicar of Dibley meets Calendar Girls, with a dash of Bake Off and more than a drizzle of naughtiness...
