🏛 Free Panacea Museum in Bedford 2025
Saturday 17 May 2025
Time: 11:00 - 17:00 Price: £0.00
🏡A FREE MUSEUM IN BEDFORD- The Panacea, a beautiful Victorian House.
Discover the amazing story of the unique religious community that created its own Garden of Eden in the centre of Bedford. The museum has beautiful gardens to walk around.
⭐OPEN:
Thursday - Sunday, 11am - 5pm
(last admission 4.30pm)
📖 SOME INTERESTING HISTORY
The Panacea Society was originally called ‘The Community of the Holy Ghost’, and was made up mostly of women. Its leader was Mabel Barltrop – the widow of an English clergyman, and mother of four children– whose followers called her ‘Octavia’.
Octavia. The founder of the Panacea Society.
During the 1920s, followers of the Panacea Society moved to Bedford to live near Octavia. Eventually, the community was able to combine the gardens of several properties to form ‘the campus’ – a private space between the community houses, with a chapel at its centre.
From this headquarters, the Society operated a religious organisation which reached across the world. Over two thousand people became members of the Panacea Society, in Europe, North America and many parts of the British Empire and Commonwealth.
From its beginning, the Panacea Society expected the end of the world. Society members were convinced that God would soon act to bring about a new age – a period of peace and happiness called ‘the Millennium’.
The Panacea Society was part of a wider religious movement of groups concerned with prophecy. The Panaceans believed that God was speaking to them through Octavia, but her followers did not believe she was the only modern prophet. Rather, they accepted a lineage of seven prophetic voices since the late 1700s – a tradition they called ‘the Visitation’.
🧒 FOR CHILDREN
Children trails, colouring sheets and wooden toys in the activity space in the main museum building 'Castleside'.
☕ FOOD AND DRINK
Tea room serving refreshments, hot & cold snacks with indoor & outdoor seating
🚼 TOILET INFORMATION

👸 Pi**ed up Panto - Sleeping Beauty (16+) at Luton Library Theatre
Saturday 17 May 2025
Time: 19:30 - 22:00
🤭 P*ssed Up Panto® has been causing hilarious havoc around the UK since 2021 with their productions of Cinderella, Aladdin & Jack and the Beanstalk – now they’re back with a brand-new show for 2025!
▪️AGES: 16+
Selling out theatres up and down the country, P*ssed Up Panto® has developed the perfect adult panto formula, causing tears of laughter and soaked-through theatre seats nationwide!
🍾 WHAT TO EXPECT
But what exactly is P*ssed Up Panto®? Well if you’ve ever wondered what a pantomime cast would get up to if there were no children in the audience…then you’re half way there! Add to that a nail-biting audience
Vote for the one cast member who must complete a savage drinking challenge throughout the show (as the other performers do their best to keep the story running to its ‘happy ending’!) and you can see why absolutely anything could happen…and it probably will!
It’s full of innuendo, hilarious comedy routines, parodies of well-known songs and audience participation, creating a performance that’s hilarious, cheeky, saucy and sometimes just a little bit naughty...okay...VERY Naughty...!
Starring a whole host of experienced, professional pantomime performers, and one or two professional drinkers, alongside a dazzling ensemble cast, stunning scenery, great music and side-splitting comedy routines this is a night that audiences will remember for the rest of their lives!
Please Note: This production features strong language, adult themes and is not suitable for the easily offended.
🎟 TICKET PRICE: £25.00
♿ WHEELCHAIR USERS
Wheelchair Users cannot be booked online – please email the Box Office
☎️ BOX OFFICE: 01582 878100
NOTE: Luton Library Theatre is a cashless venue and only able to take card payments.

🎣 The Mental Health Benefits of Fishing
Fishing is more than just a hobby. It helps men step away from their busy lives and relax. The slow, steady process of fishing—casting a line, waiting, and focusing on the water—can be very calming. It helps lower stress and gives men time to clear their minds.
Spending time outdoors is also important for mental health. Being in nature can improve mood, reduce anxiety, and boost overall well-being. Fishing provides a chance to breathe fresh air, enjoy quiet moments, and feel a sense of achievement.
WHAT'S INCLUDED?
A fully qualified facilitator and level 2 angling coach with over 30 years of angling experience. They will also provide fishing tackle, bait, etc. Please note that a rod licence to fish will be provided.
🎟 TICKET PRICE - £5
‘For Men To Talk’ ask for a non-refundable contribution amount of £5 per meeting.
Required attendees: 8 men. Tickets can be booked via the event link.

👻 Ghost Hunt & Buffet, May 2025 - Hemel Hempstead
Saturday 17 May 2025
Time: 20:00 - 01:00 Price: £37.00
TIMES
▪️Arrival time: 8.00pm
▪️Investigation by: 9.15 pm
▪️Finishing time, around: 1.00am
📖 HISTORY
The building that we know today as The Harvester, in Hemel Hempstead, started it’s life as a posting house, according to census records dating back to 1851. These would be houses or, in this case an inn, where horses were kept that could be rented out. They would be used as post offices are today, to distribute the mail. Back in 1861 it was known as The Railway Hotel and had provisions to stable 7 horse. Between 1855 and 1912, the census records show us that it was run by various generations of the Dunning family.
👻 OUR PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE
We were invited here for an investigation, after some of the current staff had experienced strange goings on within the building, the most frequent one being the hand dryer in the ladies toilets turning itself on late at night when the restaurant was being locked up. There was also a recording of someone, in the carpark, walking about and then disappearing, on the cctv footage. Our last investigation proved the building to be very active with lots of emf meters going off, ouija board work and seeing someone’s hair being tugged!
😋 FOOD & DRINK
Tickets for this event will include a buffet supper and the price of that is included in the price. All you pay for on the night are drinks behind the bar.
⭐️Crispy Chicken Fries
⭐️Tempura prawns
⭐️Garlic Bread
⭐️Nachos
⭐️Breaded Mushrooms
⭐️Prime Chicken Wings
⭐️Chips
⭐️Tomato/Basil Pasta
⭐️Mixed Salad
⭐️Buffet Coleslaw
⭐️Potato Salad
⭐️Choc Brownie
⭐️Salted Caramel
⭐️Profiteroles
⭐️Fruit Platter
☕️ Tea and coffee will also be available throughout the night.
