This Week's Events

The Secret Garden Musical

The Assembly Rooms

Thursday 9th - Saturday 11th May
Josephine Butler College presents their first show in the Assembly Rooms Theatre, following the both compelling and heartwarming journey of a girl as she begins to learn her new self with the background of some of the most beautiful music ever written for Broadway, one that will truly capture the audiences' hearts.

The show is a detailing story of Mary Lennox, an 11-year-old English girl living in India who, after her parents pass away, is sent back to Yorkshire to live with her Uncle. She finds his home at first forbidding and unfriendly, but through her friendship with her Uncle’s son, Colin, and her discovery of a mysterious locked garden in the grounds of the house she begins to come to terms with her life and sees the people around her in a new light.

This musical is a Josephine Butler College production with its cast and crew entirely from the college. It is the first ever time that the college musical is being held in the assembly rooms.

Ticket prices are £4.50 for DST/STAB members, £5.00 for students and £6.00 for non-students.
