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 […]

Panto Time!!!

17 Dec 2011

by Kirsty Smallman

After two and a half hours of full-on laughter, first class panto entertainment – I am asking myself the question “why has it taken so long to pay my first visit to Shrewsbury’s Theatre Severn?” Aladdin – produced by Shropshire’s Paul Hendy and his wife Emily Wood under their company Evolution Productions – has this week become a “record-breaker” after […]

Shrewsbury Folk Festival 2011

31 Aug 2011

by Rhea Alton

After four days at the Shrewsbury Folk Festival at the West Mid Showground in Shrewsbury I am tired, a little achy, in much need of a long shower but very very happy. The whole event has been really wonderful, especially for me going as a family with a seven-month old – the first time we have camped with a baby […]

Day two at Shrewsbury Folk Festival

27 Aug 2011

by Rhea Alton

Well, day two has been cracking. We woke to sunshine and enjoyed a cuppa and bacon gaps outside the tent before having a stroll around the crafts tents and bookstalls then nipping into Shrewsbury for a camping cooker (ours turned out to be a gas lamp which wasn’t at all useful at boiling the kettle). We perused the real ale […]

Day one at Shrewsbury’s Folk Festival

27 Aug 2011

by Rhea Alton

It’s started to rain. But it’s all good. I am sat in my tent listening to some very talented people playing wonderful music. The sun has just gone down in spectacular style and I have had a great afternoon……and the evening is just getting going…… The Shrewsbury Folk Festival does so many things so well. They don’t let too many […]

Shrewsbury Folk Festival tune in

18 Aug 2011

by Rhea Alton

Summer is always a busy time for me as the press officer for a number of shows, events and the Shropshire County Showground, and the August Bank Holiday is no exception….although it is a little different. Rather than promoting the event in a bid to attract hundreds of visitors I am looking to get people to stay at home for […]
