We enjoy trips to a wide range of theatrical performances at different venues in the region. We do not go to the theatre on a regular basis but as and when a good performance comes up. We travel by coach.
The theatre group started in March 2002 with a visit to to see Nevilles Island at the Keswick theatre. Since then we have visited The Lowry, Salford; The Grand, Blackpool; the Heron Theatre at Beetham; the Brewery and the Leisure Centre nearer home in Kendal; and The Duke at Lancaster.
We have seen such diverse performances as Present Laughter; Flare Path; Christmas Carol; The Hired Man; I Got Rhythm; and An Evening With Gervase Phinn.
The cost of a trip varies depending on the performance, numbers, and distance traveled.

Members of this groups went to the Theatre by the Lake to see “Hay Fever”. We chose a matinee performance and several people travelled to Keswick on the bus, enjoying the scenery en route. They also had time to enjoy this lovely town and the lake and have some lunch before watching the excellent performance that everyone enjoyed.
More theatre trips are being planned. Contact the co-ordinator for details.

As the most economical bus company that we used has gone out of business members have been using their own cars – sadly there has not been any suitable theatre programmes near to hand and I felt it unwise to risk life and limb to go to places like Manchester and Birmingham in such inclement weather. I have all Theatres on the radar system and hopefully we will continue to enjoy ‘live theatre’ again in the not too distant future.
