The Lyric Rooms is hosting a Disney Princess Afternoon Tea on Saturday.

You can enjoy a fabulous time in the company of princesses Belle and Rapunzel.

The teas previously have all been wonderful days with many happy princesses who all loved dancing and singing along to the classic songs.

Your afternoon tea will be served using the venue's beautiful vintage afternoon tea sets, table cloths and bunting with a delicious selection of sandwiches, tasty treats and dainty cakes, unlimited tea, coffee and squash.

Each Princess will also give a special live performance of their well-known songs.

There are also games, autograph and photo opportunities - each child will receive an Easter Egg, and a special gift from the Princesses.

The Venture Theatre has a production of The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band Changed My Life Forever on Friday.

This is a play with songs from Isosceles Theatre Company

Yes – there really was a Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band in the 60's.

As if to prove it, this play tells the story of Bob, a diehard Doo Dah devotee, who has come to audition for a Tribute Band show…

Bob is a showbiz beginner, but, loaded with 60's music facts and massive enthusiasm, what can stop his march to the summit of Rockfame?

Enter Eric, also auditioning, a man made of more cynical stuff – he's been there and done it, and has the kaftan to prove it.
