So it’s Cheltenham race week.
But there’s a problem. You don’t care about what is going on at the Gold Cup or the sorry state of affairs of the drunken spectators. So what do you do? Well if you’re looking for ideas to avoid the busy and rowdy streets, then you have come to the right place.
Take a look at the list below so that you will be able to escape it completely! (Well hopefully).
Blood Brothers at the Theatre
Enjoy a gripping musical? The Everyman Theatre is showing Blood Brothers every day next week during the day and the evening. It is an award winning show about twin brothers who are separated at birth but meet much later with crucial consequences.
