  • 🎉 Bunting galore

  • 🏆 A prize for the best homemade Victoria Sponge, judged by our special guest panel!

It’s a great chance to:

  • Meet the company and hear more about Calendar Girls: The Musical

Feeling peckish?

Refreshments will be available throughout the afternoon. If you’d like to pre-book a Cream Tea or Afternoon Tea, please contact Julie on 07305 562 592.

So come along, bring a friend, and enjoy a slice of something special. Whether you’re joining the cast, volunteering backstage, or simply supporting the show, we’d love to see you there.

Everyone’s welcome. No need to RSVP – just turn up, and we’ll pop the kettle on!
