🎭 Two unforgettable events. Two incredible storytellers. One local independent events company.
If you're looking for something a little different this autumn, we'd love you to join us.
⭐ Saturday 3rd October – An Evening with Sam McAlister
The former BBC Newsnight producer behind some of the world's biggest interviews, including Prince Andrew, Elon Musk, Bill Clinton, Julian Assange and Stormy Daniels, joins us the Albert Hall, Nottingham for an entertaining and fascinating evening about the art of securing the interview everyone else wants.

🔎 Sunday 18th October – Matinees of Murders & Mysteries
Bestselling author Carol Ann Lee comes to the Bonington Theatre, Arnold, to explore one of Britain's most enduring true crime stories – The Pendle Witches. Was history really as straightforward as we've been led to believe?

As a small local business, every ticket sold genuinely makes a difference, and we'd be so grateful if you could support us by coming along or simply sharing this post with friends and family who love true crime, history, journalism or great storytelling.
We hope to see some familiar faces there! ❤️
