22 May – 27 June, 2025

Call for entries! Let There Be Light – An exhibition in the Noel Bullock Gallery
Light illuminates and reveals. Shadows soften and conceal. Subtle highlights emerge from darkness, shifting colour and temperature. Reflected light dances beyond our direct gaze, casting hidden hues onto what we see. This interplay of illumination and obscurity shapes not only what we perceive, but how we feel. The language of light, in all its nuance and mystery, mirrors life itself.

30 May – 22 June, 2025

Britain’s brilliant comic genius, Sir Alan Ayckbourn serves us a fast-paced and hilariously funny theatrical meal. This classic modern comedy is a portrait of three very different marriages that turns into a spirited game of mixed doubles involving sex, jealousy and ingenious stagecraft. Full of clever, razor-sharp dialogue and impeccable split-second timing and twists, HOW THE OTHER HALF LOVES promises to leave you in stitches.
