What's On Altrincham

St Peter’s players (SPP) are an amateur acting school and drama group based in Hale, Cheshire. We would like to invite all budding writer’s actor’s director’s musician’s singers and artists to come and join us.

The play is set in a trashy 70’s disco in Liverpool, England. The action is mainly in the gents and women’s toilets of the disco where both Linda (The Bride) and Dave (The Groom) have decided to hold their stags and hens nights, not knowing that their other half is at the same place.

Two-thirds acre landscaped, S-facing garden overlooking Bollin Valley laid out in 1959 by Clibrans of Altrincham and recently restored. Gently sloping lawn, woodland walk, seating areas and terrace, extensive mixed shrub and plant borders. Partial wheelchair access and ample parking on Carr Wood.

Discover the garden in a way that appeals to all your super senses. Imagine you have the eyes of an owl and the ears of a rabbit on a sensory nature trail. Normal admission applies to the garden. Don’t forget to get your tickets from visitor reception before heading to the garden. Booking Not Needed.

Regular drop-in session. Usually second Friday of the month. Beginners welcome. Learn at your own pace. No partner required. Emphasis is on participation, not performance. Dances range from some which are simple and meditative to those which are a little more complex and challenging.
