ℹ️ ABOUT
Welcome to seaside superstore Better Best Bargains, where it's Friday night, the vibe is right, and everyone's dancing in the aisles. But when Caz discovers the shelves are stocked with lies and betrayal, the summer of love she and her friends dreamed of suddenly feels like a tragedy. Have they all lost their chance of a 'happy ever after'?
Move your feet and feel the beat to the iconic pop anthems of a generation in a night of “musical heaven” (The Star on Sunday). Produced by Steps themselves, ROYO, and pop legend Pete Waterman, Here & Now features hits including One for Sorrow, Better The Devil You Know, Deeper Shade of Blue, 5, 6, 7, 8 and Last Thing On My Mind.
Directed by the award-winning Rachel Kavanaugh (The Great British Bake Off Musical) and written by Shaun Kitchener (Hollyoaks), the show stars Blake Patrick Anderson (Be More Chill), River Medway (RuPaul’s Drag Race UK), Jacqui Dubois (Ghost) and Rosie Singha (& Juliet).
Hailed as the “biggest jukebox hit since MAMMA MIA!” (The Sun), don’t miss this feel-good celebration of love and friendship!

ℹ️ EVENT DETAILS
Think you could design a game people actually want to play? This Easter, we’re giving you the space, tools, and creative freedom to prove it. Across this two-day project you’ll:
• Try out lots of games
• Create your own game world
• Make your own rules, characters, challenges and twists
• Bring your invention to life
At the end of day two, we’ll flip the room into a full‑on board game café for an epic showdown. You’ll get the chance to play everyone else’s creations — battle it out, team up, and see who’s made the most addictive, or genius game of the week.
No experience needed. Just imagination, and a willingness to get stuck in. If you love creating, competing, or just trying something different, this is your Easter sorted.
ℹ️ BOOKING INFORMATION
This is a two-day event. Only book a place if you are able to attend both days. The minimum age for this activity is 11. Please do not book tickets if you do not meet the 11-17 age threshold. You can book this event via the event link.
