Once grande dames of Hollywood, by 1962 arch-rivals Bette Davis and Joan Crawford were in danger of becoming has-beens. Then an opportunity came along: to appear together in a new movie called Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?

While Joan manages her anxiety by lacing her Pepsi with vodka and signing photographs for her beloved fans, Bette chain smokes and moans on her lovelife, and her ability to pick a decent script, never a decent man. Behind the bitching and the practical jokes, we see each woman’s insecurities and regrets, and their rivalry is revealed to be underpinned by grudging respect as they attempt to identify their new roles in life as well as in their careers.

Join us as we talk about Smithills Hall's history and the spooky goings on inside it. The guides of Smithills Hall would like to take you around this mysterious historic building to talk about all things history and the ghosts who reside here. These are ghost accounts that have been experienced by staff and volunteers.

A Murder Is Announced is a classic Agatha Christie whodunit set in the quiet English village of Chipping Cleghorn, where a newspaper advert boldly announces that a murder will take place at a local house on a specific date and time. When the prediction comes true, the seemingly genteel village is thrown into chaos as secrets, deception, and hidden identities begin to surface. With the police baffled, Miss Marple steps in to untangle a web of clues and uncover a killer who has been hiding in plain sight.Packed with twists, red herrings, and Christie's trademark wit, it's a suspenseful mystery where everyone is a suspect and nothing is quite what it seems.

Once grande dames of Hollywood, by 1962 arch-rivals Bette Davis and Joan Crawford were in danger of becoming has-beens. Then an opportunity came along: to appear together in a new movie called Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? The play depicts the two stars in adjacent dressing rooms between takes on the set of “Baby Jane”. While Joan manages her anxiety by lacing her Pepsi with vodka and signing photographs for her beloved fans, Bette chain smokes and moans on her lovelife, and her ability to pick a decent script, never a decent man. Behind the bitching and the practical jokes, we see each woman’s insecurities and regrets, and their rivalry is revealed to be underpinned by grudging respect as they attempt to identify their new roles in life as well as in their careers.
