Fed up of being ignored and forgotten by the other animals, Mouse wishes he could roar like Lion. But, as he discovers, even the biggest, bossiest people are scared sometimes... and even the smallest creatures can have the heart of a lion! Based on the best-selling story by Rachel Bright & Jim Field, this joyous new stage adaptation featuring puppetry, music and song is directed by Sarah Punshon (The Jungle Book), with music and lyrics by Eamonn O’Dwyer (Brief Encounter).

Address: Jewry Street, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 8SB Telephone: Box office: 01962 840440 Event: An Evening with Arthur Smith & Caroline Quentin: About 'An Evening with Gary Lineker - 7.30pm - In the summer of 1990, England went to the World Cup and came home with something unexpected - a cultural moment that's never quite let go. That night in Turin, when Gazza cried and England went out on penalties, didn't just break hearts. It inspired one of the most celebrated comedies of its era - the Olivier-nominated play An Evening with Gary Lineker. Now, co-writer Arthur Smith and original cast member Caroline Quentin bring that story to the stage. In conversation, they'll revisit the making of a modern classic - the writing, the filming, the football -- with personal anecdotes, behind-the-scenes stories, and other joint capers that have sealed a friendship for years.

A rip-roaring, fast-paced hilarious show. 92 year old Barry from Watford was first brought to public consciousness when he became a cult star on Iain Lee's LBC 97.3FM phone-in show. London listeners loved Barry’s sunny outlook and joie de vie and followed him to Iain Lee's show on Absolute Radio. He was also a regular feature in the form of the "lifestyle guru" on Steve Wright in the Afternoon on BBC Radio 2. His viral hits about 'Minty Biscuits' and 'Carpetright' have amassed 100s of millions of hits whilst his Channel 4 game show with Noel Edmonds "Cheap Cheap Cheap" had literally 100s of viewers.

Telling the truth isn’t always that simple. Alice, a brilliant novelist, despises the carefully constructed lies of modern society. But the more she challenges those around her, the fiercer the backlash becomes. Soon, she must confront the price of speaking her truth in a world that would rather silence her. Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Indhu Rubasingham directs Martin Crimp’s (Cyrano de Bergerac) highly anticipated play.

The focus is on using the body to communicate clearly and find comedy without relying on words. Participants will work with simple props and everyday objects, learning how small physical choices, timing, and attention can turn ordinary moments into something funny and engaging. A key part of the workshop is how to invite the audience into the play — noticing consent, responding honestly, and building connection with care rather than forcing interaction. Through straightforward exercises and improvisation, performers develop confidence, awareness, and a stronger sense of play, making work that feels open, human, and genuinely connected to the people watching.

The Lion Inside
Venue: Theatre Royal
11am
A heart-warming tale about confidence, self-esteem, and a shy little mouse who sets out on a journey to find his roar. In a dry dusty place where the sand sparkled gold, stood a mighty flat rock, all craggy and old. And under that rock in a tinyful house, lived the littlest, quietest, meekest brown mouse. Fed up of being ignored and forgotten by the other animals, Mouse wishes he could roar like Lion. But, as he discovers, even the biggest, bossiest people are scared sometimes... and even the smallest creatures can have the heart of a lion! Based on the best-selling story by Rachel Bright & Jim Field, this joyous new stage adaptation featuring puppetry, music and song is directed by Sarah Punshon (The Jungle Book), with music and lyrics by Eamonn O’Dwyer (Brief Encounter).
