The Baddies come to the Assembly Hall TheatreMeet the very worst Baddies in the world! Don't you dare to come too close to a witch, a troll and an ancient ghost!
The Baddies love being bad. They roar, spook and cast wicked spells to try and scare a girl out of her wits…who will succeed? Or perhaps the girl is braver than they think…
With songs by Joe Stilgoe (Zog and Zog and The Flying Doctors), The Baddies is a wickedly hilarious adaptation of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler's smash-hit story. A laugh-out-loud riot for all the family. Book now! | | |

Final chance to feed back on proposed changes to Amelia Scott operating hoursThe purpose of this proposal is to recommend an adjustment to the operating hours of The Amelia Scott. Specifically, it is proposed that the facility closes two hours earlier on a Thursday at 6pm than the current time of 8pm. This change aims to enhance operational efficiency, reduce costs, and better align with visitor patterns.
Due to low visitor numbers, from April 2025 the Council are proposing to change the opening hours at The Amelia Scott to: - Monday – Friday 9am-6pm
- Saturday 9am-5pm
- Sunday 10am-4pm
Adult education classes are not affected.
