About Shadowlands
Set in the quiet world of 1950s Oxford, Shadowlands follows Oxford don and author C. S. Lewis (Hugh Bonneville) as he opens his heart to a surprising and transformative romance with Gresham, a spirited poet whose wit and honesty challenge his long-held beliefs.
As their friendship blossoms into love, Lewis must confront the very ideas about pain and faith he has written about for years. When Joy is diagnosed with a terminal illness, their bond is tested in ways neither could have imagined. A tender and philosophical exploration of how love can illuminate even life’s darkest moments, Shadowlands is a timeless story that continues to move audiences around the world.

La Fille mal Gardee
At Covent Garden
Friday 5th June 2026 at 7.30
Escape to the countryside with Frederick Ashton’s ballet about a capricious girl who hopes to marry her love. Brimming with humour and choreographic invention, La Fille mal gardée is the perfect ballet for all the family.
Lise is the only daughter of Widow Simone, the owner of a prosperous farm. She is in love with the young farmer Colas, but her mother has higher ambitions for her, hoping to marry her off to Alain, the son of the wealthy proprietor Thomas. Desperate to marry Colas rather than Alain, Lise contrives to outwit her mother’s plans.
The choreography of La Fille mal gardée is incredibly virtuosic, with multiple pirouettes, grand lifts and fleet footwork. Highlights include the pas de ruban (ribbon dance), where Lise and Colas dance together, their bodies intertwined by a ribbon. Other highlights include the maypole dance and Widow Simon’s clog dance.
The seats are in the Amphitheatre with good views of the stage.
COST : Theatre ticket £68.00 + coach fare £20.00 approx. making a total of £88.00 per person.
Please note at this stage only the theatre tickets would need to be paid for as the coach fare would be collected at a later date.
