SUMMARY:The Worst Record Covers in the World
DESCRIPTION:Get ready for a showcase of the most hilariously bad album art ever created! \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Worst Record Covers in the World exhibition features collector Steve Goldman’s unique selection of over 500 unintentionally awful record sleeves. \nFrom bizarre design choices to laugh-out-loud concepts gone wrong\, this exhibition celebrates creative risk and the joy of failure in art. Visitors can even listen to tracks from these records and vote for their favourite “worst” cover. \nAdmission is free — come for the cringe\, stay for the comedy!

SUMMARY:Gladiators of Britain
DESCRIPTION:Explore the history of gladiatorial fights in Britain. \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\nThe events of the amphitheatre – its wild beasts and enslaved fighters – are one of the most enduring aspects of Roman culture that still capture the public imagination today. \nThis touring exhibition brings together some of the country’s most important objects to tell the story of Britain’s entertainment venues and the people who died to the roar of the crowd. It will reveal the violence of the arena\, and the importance of spectacle within Roman culture. \nHighlights include the Colchester Vase loaned by Colchester Museums\, which records an actual battle between two real gladiators\, and the Hawkedon Helmet\, the only confirmed piece of gladiatorial armour from Roman Britain. These iconic loans will be supported by a selection of other items that reveal the popularity of gladiators throughout Roman society. \nThis tour is in partnership with Colchester and Ipswich Museums and is inspired by the recent exhibition at Colchester Castle\, Gladiators: A Day at the Roman Games which featured British Museum loans. It will explore Roman spectacle in the local region\, following in the footsteps of the gladiators who fought in the amphitheatres of Britain.

SUMMARY:Only Fools and Horses: The Musical
DESCRIPTION:Stick a pony in your pocket – The Trotters are back and coming to a town near you! The smash hit show Only Fools and Horses: The Musical – direct from a record-breaking four-year sold-out run-in London’s West End – featuring Del Boy\, Rodney\, Grandad\, Cassandra\, Raquel\, Boycie\, Marlene\, Trigger\, Denzil and Mickey Pearce. \nBased on John Sullivan’s legendary television show\, this critically acclaimed home-grown musical spectacular features cherished material from Britain’s best loved TV series. With a script and original score written by John’s son\, Jim Sullivan\, and comedy giant Paul Whitehouse\, prepare to get reacquainted with Britain’s most lovable rogues and experience the classic comedy brought to life on stage through an ingenious script and 20 hilarious songs. \nFans and critics alike praised Only Fools and Horses: The Musical in their droves during its triumphant West End run: The Sun awarded five stars\, hailing it “One Del of a show!”; the Daily Mirror said it was “a treat for Trotter fans” in their five-star review. The Sunday Times bestowed four stars and remarked that “Only Fools is a blast from our wide-boy past. A hearty stage adaptation of the 1980s BBC television comedy”. Evening Standard also awarded four stars\, complimenting the “unashamedly British night out. A jubilant lovely jubbly!”. While the Daily Mail urged its readers to “raise a glass of Tittinger to Del Boy and Rodney as Only Fools and Horses storms the West End!” \nJoin us as we take a trip back in time\, where it’s all kicking off in Peckham. While the yuppie invasion of London is in full swing\, love is in the air as Del Boy sets out on the rocky road to find his soul mate\, Rodney and Cassandra prepare to say ‘I do’\, and even Trigger is gearing up for a date (with a person!). Meanwhile\, Boycie and Marlene give parenthood one final shot and Grandad takes stock of his life and decides the time has finally arrived to get his piles sorted. \nWith musical contributions from the iconic Chas & Dave\, the beloved theme tune as you have never heard it before\, and an array of brand-new songs full of character and cockney charm\, you’re guaranteed to have a right ol’ knees-up! Only Fools and Horses The Musical is a feel-good family celebration of traditional working-class London life in 1989 and the aspirations we all share. \nSo don’t delay\, get on the blower\, and get a ticket for a truly cushty night out – only a 42 carat PLONKER would miss it!
