A special closing event will run from 6pm to 9pm on Saturday 4 May. Come and meet the artists and listen to live jazz from 'Mood Indigo'.
Testmatch at Orange Tree Theatre – all weekend
Lord's, present day. It's the Women's Cricket World Cup: England versus India. There's a rain delay. Tensions mount, ambitions are laid bare and a whole new tactical game begins.
Calcutta in the eighteenth century. Two British administrators in colonial India encounter challenges on the field of play that threaten the entire regime.
In this game of integrity and power, past and present collide. Kate Attwell's funny and provocative play explores and explores the mythology of fair play.
Performances run all weekend except Sunday – check Orange Tree Theatre's website for more.
The Kids' Table at The Turk's Head – Sunday 5 May
Join The Turk's Head on Sundays when the Kids' Table will be here to entertain the kid's meaning you can sit back and relax – something that might sound especially appealing to parents at The Bearcat the night before!
Our team will keep an eye on the nippers while they enjoy craft, games and creative table-top fun; meaning parents can enjoy a long leisurely lunch… and finish a sentence.
The Kids' Table runs from 12pm to 4pm. The fun is for 3 to 10 year-olds and is a first come first served activity: but booking is advised.
National Gallery with Turner's House Museum Director – Friday 3 May
Join the Museum Director of Turner's House, Dr Matthew Morgan, for a guided tour of some of Turner's greatest works at the National Gallery.
Turner was dedicated to the observation of the natural world and he was in particular obsessed with the effects of light.
Dr. Morgan will explore these elements of Turner's work and the ways in which he used them to enhance our experiences of the world around us.
The tour at The National Gallery begins at 6:30pm.
