Ladies Unleashed
A moving comedy about friendship, growing older and living for today.
Pearl, Jan and Linda are enjoying a long-awaited break on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, when a surprise visitor turns up. They haven't seen Shelley for years, and their retreat becomes a reunion – and pretty soon, a riot.
But a lot has changed since they were last together and, cut off from the mainland, tensions rise with the tide. As the sky darkens, the island grows restless with echoes of the past. Will the four still be friends when dawn breaks?
Following the smash hits Ladies' Day and Ladies Down Under, Amanda Whittington's Ladies Unleashed is the third play in her Ladies Trilogy.

Hoping for a quiet weekend in the country with some guests, David Bliss, a novelist and his wife Judith, a retired actress, find that an impossible dream when their high-spirited children Simon and Sorel appear with guests of their own. A housefull of drama waits to be ignited as misunderstandings and tempers flare. With Judith's new flame and David's newest literary 'inspiration' keeping company as the children follow suit, the Bliss family lives up to its name as the 'quiet weekend' comes to an exhausting and hilarious finale worthy of Feydeau.

Our Day Out
Sad, humorous and true to life!
A group of schoolchildren from a deprived district in Liverpool are off on a day trip to Conwy Castle in North Wales during the 1970s. The majority of these pupils come from impoverished and troubled families.
The play beautifully captures the complexities of class, education, and the dreams of these disadvantaged children. It’s a touching exploration of their hopes, struggles, and the transformative power of a simple day out

The Stranger
The Stranger is a gripping play by Agatha Christie, adapted from her own short story "Philomel Cottage." The narrative revolves around Enid, who breaks off her long-standing engagement to marry the charming and mysterious Gerald. They move to a secluded country cottage, which initially seems like a romantic escape. However, the story takes a dark turn as secrets unravel, and Enid discovers that Gerald may not be the man she thought he was. The play explores themes of deception, love, and the realization that sometimes the greatest danger can come from those closest to us. It's a psychological thriller that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats, culminating in a dramatic and unexpected climax.

The Jive Aces - Keeping the show on the road tour
Together for over 25 years, The Jive Aces have been keeping the show on the road for three decades and become renowned worldwide for their high-energy live show having toured in over 40 countries. The band aim to spread smiles and cheer with their swingin' music and classic vintage style from crooning smooth ballads to blasting honking rhythm & blues. Having played for Her Majesty the Queen, selling out the Royal Albert Hall, becoming the first band to reach the finals of Britain's Got Talent or just entertaining at one of their 250 live shows a year, they continuously showcase why they are the UK's No.1 Jive & Swing band!
With their trademark yellow suits and a repertoire that stretches from the timeless tunes of the swing era to the glitz of the Rat Pack with a dash of classic rock 'n' roll, they perform songs in their unique upbeat style by such great artists as Louis Prima, Bobby Darin, Louis Armstrong, Sammy Davis Jr. and Ella Fitzgerald as well as a selection of superb original tunes.
The Jive Aces have earned their reputation and won several important awards including the City Of Derry International Music Award, the Variety Club Of Great Britain Award for their contribution to music & charity work and several film festival awards for their high production value music videos.
They have worked with many celebrities such as Van Morrison, Chick Corea (who performs two songs on their 'Recipe for Rhythm' album), Kenny Ball (appearing on their 'King of the Swingers' album, Kenny's last ever recording), John Travolta, The Proclaimers, The Undertones, Status Quo, Keely Smith, Jamie Cullum, Priscilla Presley and Kirstie Allie to name just a few.
When the Jive Aces released a music video for their upbeat version of a much-loved theme song in the UK, 'Bring Me Sunshinw' it immediately went viral and to date has over 3.7 million views on YouTube. It is so popular in fact that a Doctor in Seattle actually prescribed the video to his patients to cure "the blues"! Their version of the song has also been used in countless TV shows including thrice on 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
At the start of the pandemic with all their shows having just been postponed, the band decided to do an online live-streaming show called the "JiveStream" to keep up spirits. Not knowing how long this would last, they promised to do it every day which ended up being 500 consecutive, daily shows and as a result made a host of new fans and friends all over the globe from the USA to India and from Australia to Ireland. This is where the idea for their new album and tour "Keeping The Show On The Road" originated because through thick and thin they fought hard to bring people the music despite huge barriers!
Their new album, also called "Keeping The Show On The Road" celebrates the song that have become live favourites over the past few years and the band has aimed to pack in the energy of a live experience into the recording.
The band are now glad to be back on the road doing what they do best, delivering their high-energy vintage style entertainment to audiences of all ages!

It is wedding night in the palace of King Shahrayar. By morning, the new Queen Shahrazad is to be put to death like all the young brides before her. But she has one gift that could save her – the gift of storytelling.
With her mischievous imagination, the young Queen spins her dazzling array of tales and characters. On her side are Ali Baba, Es-Sindibad the Sailor and Princess Parizade – adventurers in strange and magical worlds populated by giant beasts, talking birds, devilish ghouls and crafty thieves. But will her silver-tongued stories be enough to enchant her husband and save her life?

The Book Taster - Tasting Notes Live
Presented by The Book Taster
Tasting Notes Live returns to The Priory for the fourth year running this May. Featuring Six authors, a full day of bookish love, goodie bags, breakfast and lunch … and so much more!
The Book Taster was founded by Jenna, who, whilst juggling motherhood, being a Primary School Teacher & a book worm, devouring books at a rate of knots! Jenna set up The Book Taster when she was unable to find a one-off bookish gift box for a friend who needed a little ‘pick me up’. When unable to find anything on the market, Jenna curated her own box which was warmly received. Repeating this a few times and not only enjoying the process but how the gift went down- the idea of ‘The Book Taster’ was born.
On Golden Pond
Directed by John Evans
A touching, funny and warmly perceptive study of a spirited and lovable elderly couple facing their twilight years. Ethel and Norman Thayer return to their summer home on Golden Pond for the 44th year. He is a retired professor, nearing eighty, with heart palpitations and a failing memory, but still as sharp-tongued, observant and eager for life as ever. Ethel, ten years younger and the perfect foil for Norman, delights in all the small things which have enriched and continue to enrich their life together.
They are visited by their divorced, middle-aged daughter and her dentist fiance, who then go off to Europe, leaving his teenage son behind for the summer. The boy quickly becomes the grandchild the elderly couple have longed for and as Norman revels in taking his ward fishing and thrusting good books at him, he also learns some lessons about modern teenage awareness in return.

Paranormal Eye - Ghost Hunt
Hosted by Paranormal Eye UK
Join the paranormal eye as we invite you on this intense ghost hunt at the priory theatre in Kenilworth. The theatre in Warwickshire is a tardis once you enter. The Theatre was converted from a disused chapel built in 1816. However, there is the belief that there was also a former church here. We have full access after dark to all three floors, including the crypt, which lies hidden underneath a trap door within the stage area. Ghost hunts here are said to be a terrifying experience, as poltergeist activity has been reported within the main theatre itself. Many former paranormal investigators here have encountered some rather dark energies. Dark ghostly shadows have been witnessed, footsteps heard, and deep growls and moans. Many believe this is connected to the former chapel. Join us as we invite you to step out of your comfort zone and be part of this ghost night where you will be a part of seances, watch and wait vigils and some more modern equipment sessions, including spirit boxes and Evp sessions.
Are you ready to enter this old haunted theatre?
