Upcoming Events in Date Order

We are thrilled to invite you to a presentation by Mark Davis that will transport you into the rich history, vibrant culture, and enduring traditions of droving in England and Wales. 

Mark Davis, a former researcher and lecturer in exercise and health science at the University of Bristol, now enjoys his retirement in the stunning Brecon Beacons. As a dedicated Ambassador for the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, he has developed a deep passion for droving, inspiring him to lead walks and talks that celebrate this ancient practice.

During this captivating talk, Mark will guide us through the remarkable history and techniques of droving, shedding light on its lasting impact and the historic routes Welsh drovers once took to access thriving English markets. 

Don’t miss this opportunity to immerse yourself in the significant heritage of droving! Join us on Friday, January 10th, for an unforgettable evening. Doors open at 6:30 PM and the presentation starts at 7:00 PM.

American soprano Angel Blue headlines as the Ethiopian princess torn between love and country in a new production of Verdi’s Aida by Michael Mayer that brings audiences inside the towering pyramids and gilded tombs of ancient Egypt with intricate projections and dazzling animations. Romanian-Hungarian mezzo-soprano Judit Kutasi also stars as Aida’s rival, Amneris, alongside Polish tenor Piotr Beczała as the soldier Radamè s—completing opera’s greatest love triangle.

Met Music Director Yannick Né zet-Sé guin takes the podium to conduct the performance, which will be broadcast live from the Metropolitan Opera stage to cinemas worldwide.

David Tennant (Doctor Who, Broadchurch) and Cush Jumbo (The Good Wife, Criminal Record) lead a stellar cast in an ‘enthralling’ (★★★★★ Daily Telegraph) new production of Shakespeare’s MACBETH, filmed live at the Donmar Warehouse in London, especially for the big screen. Unsettling intimacy and brutal action combine at breakneck speed as Max Webster (Life of Pi, Henry V) directs this tragic tale of love, murder, and nature’s power of renewal. With staging ‘full of wolfish imagination and alarming surprise’ (★★★★★ The Guardian), the immersive 5.1 cinema surround sound places the audience inside the minds of the Macbeths, asking are we ever really responsible for our actions?
