I said it last year but I’ve said it again today “That was the best panto I’ve ever seen”

Last year I said Shropshire lad Paul Hendy’s production of Aladdin at Theatre Severn was the best I’d seen but today I was lucky enough to be able to say it again after watching his company Evolution Productions’ version of Jack and the Beanstalk at the same venue. Dame Trott (played by Brad Fitt and also director of the show) […]

Oiled, wrapped and cooked = inches lost!

10 Oct 2012

by Kirsty Smallman

Today I took an hour out of my day to be lathered in oil and wrapped in “cling film” before lying on a heated bed and covered in a warm duvet. Relaxing music on, lights dimmed and sleep. Perfect lunch hour – much better than an hour of hard-core exercise in the gym. Intrigued? Well that hour was spent having […]

Shropshire’s West End……

05 Sep 2012

by Rhea Alton

It is common knowledge among my friends that I am a fan of the musical genre….many birthdays have been spent in the big smoke with friends and family taking in another musical masterpiece and heading home raving about what we had seen. But now there is no need for me to travel to London to satisfy my need to watch […]

Oswestry Show… wonderful but very wet!

04 Aug 2012

by Kirsty Smallman

From the moment I can remember the first Saturday of August has always been spent at Oswestry Show and 30 years on that day is spent exactly the same way. As a young girl I remember proudly going to see daddy on “the stand”. Now my two boys proudly run up to grandad on the stand begging for permission to climb […]

Father and son time at Theatre Severn – by Simon Alton

23 Jul 2012

by Rhea Alton

Persuading a cheeky 18-month-old boy to sit still for longer than five minutes is a challenge in itself, so I approached Theatre Severn with a certain amount of trepidation to watch a stage show with my son for the first time. The Wheels On The Bus is aimed at children of all ages and is a classic “sing along” affair, […]

Salmon and wine – the perfect Shrewsbury evening!

19 Jun 2012

by Rhea Alton

Going to the cinema is all part of growing up – meeting people there, buying tickets, queuing for sweets and nachos, queuing for the screen, racing to get the best seats……I have had some great cinema experiences. But now I am a bit older, although I still love a trip to the local Cineworld and a bag of popcorn, I […]

Plenty of rain but still plenty of fun – Yorkshire weekend break.

22 Apr 2012

by Kirsty Smallman

We always say if there’s water our two-year-old son Eddie will be happy but we didn’t quite need so many downpours during a three day break to Sewerby, Bridlington in East Yorkshire. But we now know the weather makes no difference when you are staying at the luxury barn conversions of Field House Farm Cottages in Sewerby. Our cottage, Ostler’s […]

Fireman Sam at Theatre Severn

16 Feb 2012

by Kirsty Smallman

If you want your two-and-a-half year old son (who usually sounds like he’s swallowed a dictionary!) to be quiet for longer than 10 minutes then take him to the theatre. That’s right – the first 45 minutes of Fireman Sam at Theatre Severn and not a sound or even a movement out of him (apart from to put his Fireman […]

Two heads are better than one…..

11 Feb 2012

by Rhea Alton

They say two heads are better than one and I have no doubt that they (whoever ‘they’ may be) are right. I really enjoy working with small and medium businesses in Shropshire but there are so many of them and only one of me…that is until March 5th when I will be joined by Kirsty Smallman. Kirsty was a colleague […]
