Legendary ladies
It seems like only yesterday that Facinating Aida first tickled our funny bones with their collection of razor sharp observations and bracing harmonies. Now, to the delight of fans up and down the land, they’re back, with a new show featuring fresh material – some funny, some wistful, but all of it simply, simply fabulous.

Rampaging Romans
The Romans, like the Tudors and the Victorians, remain ripe and ever-ready for fictional exploitation of the best kind, and in Peterborough this coming Wednesday three authors who specialise in the era – Ruth Downie, Manda Scott and Ben Kane – explain just why it remains such an irresistible source of inspiration.

Mucking about
The inimitable Mark Thomas will make sure he’s not the only one being a very naughty boy when he takes to the stage at the Key Theatre next week – he’s inviting the audience to get stuck into the mischief-making as well!

On yer bike!
Now the nice weather is here, what better way could there be to get about town than on two brisk, perfectly oiled wheels? But if your bicycle could do with a service and an MOT after far too long propping up the lawnmower in the shed, then take it along to Nene Valley Park for a free maintenance check by Sustrans.
