This Friday in the Opera House, joins us for a stunning celebration of Mike Oldfield's greatest hits, brought to life by internationally renowned maestro Phil Toms and his 10-piece electro orchestra.

Rarely performed live in the UK, this is an outstanding concert performed at the highest level, and is not to be missed!

๐Ÿ„ Our Learning and Engagement team was delighted to welcome Peak School, Gamesley Primary, St Peter's C of E Junior School, and Dove Holes C of E Primary School to the Pavilion Arts Centre to perform Alice in Wonderland last month as part of our BOH Creates Satellite Project. ๐Ÿซ– The young people kicked off the show by coming together to deliver the Jabberwocky poem in perfect unison, before performing their individual sections of the story.

We were so proud of how supportive, expressive, and hard-working these wonderful young people were - both on the day and throughout the entire process. They were a true testament to their schools. Thank you to all the family and friends who came along to support these fantastic young performers on the day.
