The lights are burning bright again at Sheringham’s stage and screen. With the Autumn programme well underway, the Little Theatre has an amazing array of attractions to look forward to. Our Panto will celebrate the end of this very long year with no less than twenty afternoon performances between 21st and 31st December when you can join Jack on his adventures up the Beanstalk. Whatever else will be in short supply this Christmas, it won’t be fun and laughter in the Little Theatre’s show! But with social distancing still in place in the auditorium there will be big gaps in the seats, so it’s best to book early to avoid disappointment. More events for the youngsters come in half-term week. The multi-talented Jez Bond brings his blend of comedy and…

Written by The All Things Norfolk Team
Who are these Lucky Sods? In the next Westacre Theatre production it is Morris and Jean, a Northern couple who had nothing on Friday and a million pounds on Saturday, thanks to the Lottery.

As the past catches up with them, their lives risk coming apart as the cracks in their marriage widen. Does the money change relations with their relations? As both try to find personal fulfilment,…

Get into Golf with Golf Tuition at Barnham Broom
Written by Josie Batchelor
The team at Barnham Broom are on a mission: to introduce more people to golf through its participation in the Get into Golf scheme which is led by England Golf. By offering an excellent range of tuition options from resident experts Alan Hemsley and Ellie Brown, the aim is to make golf more accessible and give potential golfers the confidence to try out a new sport. As England Golf puts it: “Golf. That’s a game for middle age men in plaid trousers, right? Wrong. Golf is a great game for everyone. It’s fun, gets you fit, reduces stress and offers full lungs of fresh air. A round of golf can take you away from the hassles of everyday life and focus your mind. And it’s great for having a laugh…

News from Westacre Theatre - Outside Edge opens on August 12th
Written by The All Things Norfolk Team
Howzat! A strong batting line-up is fielded by the Westacre Theatre Company for their second summer production on the new outdoor stage. ‘Outside Edge – the Veteran’s Match’ is set around the real exploits of the cricket pavilion where you will certainly be bowled over by this action-packed comedy. But playing cricket is always about much more than willow hitting leather. The gentle humour becomes acerbic and we see worryingly recognisable characters evolving before our eyes. Their personal relationships are exactly like the ones you come across in your everyday life. Amusingly, Captain Roger finds his team is being caught out in more ways than in the sporting sense. Playwright Richard Harris won well-deserved awards for this play from the Writers’ Guild and Evening Standard. Just prior to the pandemic,…
The Westacre Theatre Company is back, treading the boards of their brand new open-air stage. Situated in scenic West Norfolk countryside alongside its landscaped lagoon, the new performance area, seating and sound system comes complete with an eye-catching canvas canopy. The Westacre venue originally blossomed into life over 30 years ago with its legendary outdoor productions. So the older audience will no doubt reminisce about the return to open-air roots. In resisting an airborne virus, superior ventilation brings significant advantages. But often open-air is true theatre at its most natural with the drama intensifying in the lengthening shadows. Outdoor performances frequently feel far more relaxed and can attract plenty of people who would not normally be tempted to venture inside their community theatre.

Vegan and Eco Friendly Shop opens in Loddon
Written by Richard Penguin Press & Promotion
As the world starts to think more about what we are consuming and ransacking from the planet a small Norfolk town has seen its first Vegan and Eco friendly shop open up to cope with the demand. Rachael Farman decided to set up her shop Greener Soul in Loddon when she realised that there was a demand for more environmentally friendly items and that she, and many others in the area were having to take to the A146 and travel either to Beccles, Bungay or Norwich to purchase plant based products. As a result at a time when many shops are closing their doors for a final time, Rachael who has been a vegetarian for many years, and vegan since the turn of this year, has seen a surge of…
