🎭 Bedford Drama Company presents An Evening of Tom Stoppard - The Place Theatre, Bedford
Friday 20 February 2026
Time: 19:30 - 21:15
🎭 Bedford Drama Company presents two short plays by the late Tom Stoppard.
🗓 2026 DATES & TIME
▪️17th February - 21st January 2026
▪️Doors open: 7:00 PM
▪️Show start: 7.30PM
The Real Inspector Hound:
Moon and Birdboot, two drama critics, arrive to watch the performance of a new detective play, a parody of the conventional stage thriller. However the private lives of the critics become inextricably mixed with those of the play’s characters until Moon is shot dead and the real Inspector Hound proves to be… ?
Stoppard's play is an example of absurdism as well as farce, parody, and satire. Critics have often praised it as a witty depiction of the reviewer's craft.
If You’re Glad I’ll Be Frank:
To his astonishment Frank, a bus driver, recognises the voice of the GPO speaking clock as that of his long-lost wife. Determined to get her back, he forces his way into the inner sanctum of the Authorities to demand her release. She, meanwhile, still loving him, is almost broken by her never-ending recitation. Underlying the light-hearted story is a satiric comment on man’s servitude to the clock; and a reminder that Time itself is independent of the tick-tock of the clock.
A heap of hilarious characters and a witty script make a satiric comment on man's servitude to the clock.
♿️ Disabled patrons and group bookings:

Axel the wood cutter agrees to his children Hansel and Gretel journeying forth to explore and play in the woods.

As the light fades they find themselves alone and hungry and lost in the dark depths of the trees. After some time they find a beautiful cottage, made of sweets and gingerbread,but who do they find inside? Who would live in such a delicious house?
Can Hansel and Gretel escape the woods?

🎊 February Half Term 2026: Chinese New Year Trail & Family Crafts - Stowe House, Buckinghamshire
Friday 20 February 2026
Time: 10:00 - 16:30
🎊 Celebrate Chinese New Year This February Half Term 2026 at Stowe House, Buckinghamshire.
🗓 2026 DATES & TIME
▪️14th - 22nd February 2026: 10:30 - 4:30
✨️EVENT DETAILS
Step into a colourful celebration of Chinese New Year this February half term with a fun, family-friendly programme designed for children of all ages. We’re open daily from 10.30am–4.30pm, with a free Chinese New Year trail running throughout the House, alongside creative crafts and a special drop-in workshop.
🐴 Chinese New Year Zodiac Trail
Can you spot all twelve Chinese zodiac animals hidden around the House? As families explore our historic interiors, children will search for each animal, learning about their meanings and stories along the way. This gentle, engaging trail encourages observation, curiosity, and plenty of excitement as young explorers tick off each zodiac sign they find.
🖍 Craft Activities
Get hands-on with a range of creative activities inspired by Chinese culture and New Year traditions:
🖌️ Chinese Calligraphy – Learn how to write the character for ‘horse’ in traditional Chinese script, following each brushstroke step by step.
🥠 Fortune Cookies – Craft your own paper fortune cookie to gift to a friend or loved one. Use our pre-written fortunes or write your own special message.
✏️ Colouring-In Station – A relaxed space for younger children to enjoy themed colouring and creativity.
🎨 Craft activities are available throughout the day and are perfect for dipping in and out of at your own pace.
💖 Pocket Hug Workshop (Drop-In)
On 18 February 2026, 11.00am–3.00pm, join our Pocket Hug Workshop. Drop in at any time to craft a small keepsake pocket hug—something thoughtful and handmade to gift to someone special.
🎟 ACTIVITIES INCLUDED IN ADMISSION
Best of all, all activities are free of charge and included in admission, and kids go free with a paying adult. It’s a joyful, creative, and affordable way to enjoy half term together.
👨👩👧👦 We’re fully set up for families, with:
• Baby-changing facilities
• A café for snacks and refreshments
• Lift access for pushchairs
• Dress-up and interactive play in our museum
• Picnic tables and a lawn outside the visitor centre for outdoor play
👶 Visiting With Little Legs?
Don’t fancy a big walk with little ones? We understand that the journey through the National Trust garden can feel daunting (even with snacks, pit stops, and a bit of bribery!).
If you pre-book your admission tickets, you can arrange parking close to the House via a separate entrance to Stowe—ta-da, happy faces all round.
Alternatively, make a full day of it and enjoy the fresh air, letting the kids run off some steam with a big family adventure at Stowe.
