Ready for a glorious night of high-stakes overthinking? 🍊

What is the single best orange thing in the world? Aperol spritz? Sunsets? Claudia Winkleman?

You’ve probably never stopped to consider it, but comedian Ivo Graham certainly has. Following a chaotic series of emotional days, he committed entirely to the bit: colour-coordinating his life for his daughter, his mother, his football team, and – desperately – for your entertainment.

Expect a masterclass in winningly frantic stand-up, covering everything from hats and haters to whether Hare Krishnas are better than Hobnobs. Come and help this orange lunatic build his master list.

Folk Rock Pioneers Steeleye Span to play The Elgiva! 🎸🎻

We are thrilled to welcome the legendary Steeleye Span back to The Elgiva. Together for fifty-seven years, they changed the face of folk music forever by taking it into the world of gold discs and international tours.

They join us in support of Conflict, their first full studio album in over five years. True to the folk tradition, the album seamlessly weaves modern, self-composed pieces alongside traditional material. Its title reflects both the times we find ourselves in and the stretch and tear of our relationship with the planet.

With such a vast and celebrated history to choose from, the evening promises a brilliant mix of brand-new tracks and timeless fan favourites.

📰 “Steeleye rank among the most stylish and patently musical performers in any genre … Don’t miss them.” – The Independent

⚠️ Booking advice: Steeleye Span always sells out. Don't miss your chance – book today!

Award-winner Sandra Oh (Killing Eve) stars in this razor-sharp reimagining of Molière’s classic dark comedy, filmed live at the National Theatre.

Alice is a brilliant novelist who despises the carefully constructed lies of modern society. But as she challenges the status quo, the backlash intensifies – forcing her to confront the real price of speaking out in a world that would rather silence her.

Directed by Indhu Rubasingham and written by Martin Crimp (Cyrano de Bergerac), this is a brilliant, fierce look at truth in the modern age.

Looking for your next great movie night out? 🎬

The critics are calling The Sheep Detectives "a wholesome whodunit that's shear perfection," and we are thrilled to bring it to The Elgiva screen this July!

Adapted by Craig Mazin (Dune, The Last of Us) from an internationally bestselling book, this hilariously clever mystery features an absolute powerhouse cast including Hugh Jackman, Emma Thompson, Patrick Stewart, Bella Ramsey and Chris O'Dowd.

Follow a flock of surprisingly clever sheep as they turn detective to solve a farmyard mystery, proving that the human world isn't quite as simple as it looks in books. It’s witty, charming and a genuinely fun romp.
