Then we head to the States for “the world’s most successful rock and roll musical” – Buddy, The Buddy Holly Story. The multi award winning West End show charts Buddy’s meteoric rise to fame to his legendary final performance. Catch two hours of feel-great music, passion and excitement from Tuesday 4 – Saturday 8 July.

For young people and their families you’re invited to explore amongst the thorny brambles on Saturday 15 and Sunday 16 July to find Ben & Holly’s Little Kingdom – a brand new live stage version of the BAFTA award-winning television animation.
