"Once more unto the breach dear friends…"

The Assembly Hall is delighted to present Henry V in this incredible outdoor performance at Calverley Grounds on 30 June 2024 at 5pm. 

Expect visual theatrics and chess-inspired design in this Shakespeare in the park production exploring war's merits and burdens.

Better Streets
 

Better streets for St John's and St James'

In response to concerns raised by residents about traffic and parking in local streets, TWBC commissioned Phil Jones Associates to work with officers, councillors and residents on the Better Streets project for the St John's and St James' areas of Royal Tunbridge Wells. 

The aim of the project is to understand residents' concerns in detail and then to prepare designs to make the streets in these areas safer and more pleasant for walking, wheeling and cycling.
