Back for another round of high-energy fun, The Churchfitters are a folk band like no other: a double bass made out of a saucepan; heart-wrenching vocals accompanied by a musical saw; foot-stompingly fast fiddle meets funk-rock rhythms; and traditional tunes reinvigorated with mesmerising jazz sax. An evening in their company is an uplifting experience that sends everyone home happy.

Deep in the heart of the Norwegian Forest live the trolls - big trolls, tiny trolls and a Nosy Little Troll who loves to wander about sticking her nose into everyone's business. One day there is a mumbling and a rumbling from the trolls as a wonderfully stinky smell wafts through the trees. Where does it come from and what could it be? Will the Nosy Little Troll be brave enough to follow her nose and cross the old stone bridge that leads out of the forest . . . ?

Spooky, but with a comic twist, two of Charles Dickens' ghost stories are brought to life by the team behind 'The Six-Sided Man' and 'Done To Death By Jove!'

This is intimate storytelling combined with theatrical inventiveness. Think 'The Woman In Black' meets 'The 39 Steps'...

Chilling tales for Halloween or the long winter nights leading up to Christmas!

Adapted and Directed by Gavin Robertson (BOND!, 'Crusoe') and performed by Nicholas Collett ('Your Bard', 'Nelson' & 'Spitfire Solo').

'Tears of Laughter' is a show full of Simon's inimitable brand of off-the-wall humour as well as mandolin, guitar and fiddling wizardry, all beautifully combined with Hilary's 'honey-dripping' vocals. Everything from beautiful folk ballads such as the lovely 'When Summer Comes Again', to lively mandolin tunes, and some of their hilarious children's songs, reminiscent of Belloc's 'Cautionary Tales'. Oh! and a step dance (if Hilary has any breath left!).
