The World’s Biggest Coffee Morning is Macmillan’s biggest fundraising event for people facing cancer.
This year, Shelley Theatre will be following last years massively successful coffee morning with another event serving tea and cakes. All you need to do is turn up, dig deep in your pockets and eat! If we have anything left over, we'll continue to serve during the Dodge Brothers gig - rock and jam roll.
What's it all for?
Cancer is the toughest fight most of us will ever face. And as treatments improve, more and more people are living with cancer in their daily lives. The money we raise will help make sure no one has to face cancer alone, from the moment they’re diagnosed, through treatment and beyond. |

| Are digital monsters real? A Public Lecture on the themes of technology, society, utopias and dystopias.
Mary Shelley was, perhaps one of the first modern science fiction writers. She lived in an "Age of Wonder" between the Enlightenment and Modernity, yet her life was touched by tragedy and death. Technology brought hope for a better life, but unimaginable horrors and disappointments. Shelley's monsters are alive today, and more frightening than ever. They have become small, invisible and convinced us they are our friends, but tonight we shall meet the ghosts in the machines in all of our pockets.
Will robot zombies take over the world? Why do we create monsters? Smartphone, friend or foe? Who is listening? Should we be scared of hackers? Come along and find out in this special event as part of the first Shelley Frankenstein Festival!
Speakers will include Computer Scientist Dr. Andy Farnell, psychotherapist K.E Brown and security engineer L. Cowley. |

| Winners of 2014's BBC Radio Two Folk Award for Best Duo, Phillip Henry and Hannah Martin, have come a long way on their journey.
In 2009, Phillip, one of the UK's finest slide guitarists and harmonica players, moved into a tent in south Devon. Playing in The Roots Union, he met fiddle-singer Hannah Martin, and the pair instantly recognised a very powerful musical connection. When the band ended, they continued as a duo.
It was during one of these busking stints that they were spotted in an encounter with Steve Knightley (Show Of Hands) that now goes down in folk legend. Recognising the potential of Henry and Martin's partnership, Knightley invited them to accompany Show Of Hands on a nationwide tour. |

Hap always feels so full of joy and wellbeing – and she doesn’t like it. The doctor she visits is a manic depressive. Hap tries to convince the doctor that her condition is serious.

| Tree House by Chris Fogg is a story of love and dreams, promises and betrayals, hope and redemption, shot through with warmth, humour and compassion.
It relates the fortunes of three people – Robbie, Jane and Alan – whom we first encounter as children playing in a tree house on a piece of waste ground on the edge of a village. We then follow each of them as they navigate their way along the different rungs of the social and property ladder: Jane goes into law, politics and the media; Alan pursues a career in property, finance and the City; while Robbie joins the Army, carries out a number of tours of duty in Afghanistan, defusing roadside bombs, where a spontaneous act of kindness leads to a sudden and unexpected tragedy. Some years later fate conspires to bring all three back to the waste ground, back to the tree house, where old scores are settled in a final act of reckoning. A story for our times. A play for today. |

Jim Moray was a Bowie and Blur fan singing ballads with all of his influences unfurled.
As awards and rave reviews stacked up, much was made of Moray's fearlessness in pushing the boundaries of traditional music. With support: KADIA, a superb local folk act gaining a national reputation. |
