The leaves have started falling, the mornings are feeling crisp and the nights are getting darker. That means that we’re fast approaching a new season with lots of great events around our city.

This FREE event has fang-tastic offers of music, glitter tattoos, theatrical make-up, pumpkins, gory props for the best photo opportunities and craft workshops.
A hairy tale of a Princess, a Sultan and a Genie, a shipwreck and an unfortunate pirate who keeps getting transformed into a baboon! Join Grandma Dingley and BBC NOW at 3pm.
With Rimsky-Korsakov’s opulent, luscious and tempestuous Scheherazade providing the musical stage, the lovable, but slightly batty Grandma (you’ve been warned!!) will be on hand to guide you through the story, introduce you to the orchestra and even lead you in some interactive musical activities, perfect for the whole family.
