Free after school boxing and fitness programme aimed at 11-17 year olds on a Tuesday and Friday from the 13th January to 27th March 2026.

It’s the early 1930s and librarian Agatha Appleton finds herself embroiled in a hilarious Egyptian adventure that will test her courage, her wits, and her heart. Can our hero outsmart her enemies and uncover the mysteries of the ancient world? Or will she fall victim to the deadly traps and curses that guard the Mummy’s tomb? From the team that gave you ‘Around The World in 80 Days’ and ‘Sherlock Holmes and The Music Hall Mystery’ comes a good old-fashioned slice of Archaeological adventure heavily laced with our trademark silliness.

Join us for an informing, engaging, mythbusting discussion of asylum and immigration, and explore humanist perspectives on this emotive issue.

In a world where migration is increasingly shaped by conflict, climate change, and global inequality, public debate around asylum and immigration is often dominated by misinformation, fear, and political polarisation. This event offers a grounded, human-centred alternative.

Extracts from A.A. Milne's much-loved Winnie-the Pooh stories are paired with E.H. Shepard's iconic illustrations in a fun, family friendly garden trail together with a gallery exhibition that spotlights some of Pooh's best-known adventures.

Booking not needed. This event is free, but normal admission charges apply for the venue.
Saturday 14 February to Sunday 28 June 10am to 5pm

The exhibition closes on Sunday 31 May and just the trail will run throughout June. The Winnie the Pooh trail will not run during the Easter holidays when we offer our SpringFest Easter trail. In 2026 that's between Monday 16 March and Friday 17 April.
