When: Saturday 7th – Monday 30th December, various times. 
Tickets:  Tickets £20 - £26

This Christmas, you’re invited to the pantomime of your dreams – SLEEPING BEAUTY, at the Eric Morecambe Centre, Harpenden.

Once upon a time in a Pantoland far, far away, Princess Aurora is cursed by the evil Carabosse to perish on her 18th birthday by pricking her finger on a spinning wheel. Thanks to Fairy Nuff, the Princess falls into a deep sleep that can only be broken by her one true love. Will the handsome Prince Valiant come to her rescue, fight the dragon, destroy Carabosse, and save the day? Will the hilarious Nanny Nora finally find the man of her dreams and will Chester the Jester find his own super powers to protect the Princess? There’s only one way to find out!

SLEEPING BEAUTY features Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK favourite Vicki Vivacious as Carabosse, the return of Harpenden’s much loved Dame Josh Handley as Nanny Nora, and the hilarious Oscar Carson as Chester The Jester, alongside Sam Makepeace-Beach as Prince Valiant, Charlie Morris as Fairy Nuff and Jasmine Martinez as Princess Aurora.

With great songs, dazzling dance routines, stunning scenery, beautiful costumes and spectacular special effects this dream of a pantomime will be an unforgettable experience for children and adults alike.

So don’t get caught napping – book your tickets now for this magical adventure where dreams really do come true.

Relaxed Performance Thurs 12th December at 6pm will contain all the usual fun but with the volume turned down, the houselights left up and no sudden noises or bangs. You can come and go as you please into our breakout area in the foyer and enjoy the show how you want to. It’s perfect for anyone who may need a more relaxed environment so that nothing feels overwhelming or unpleasant.

BSL Performance Thurs 19th December 6pm incorporates a qualified BSL Interpreter to ensure our Deaf or Hard of Hearing patrons can fully enjoy the pantomime.

Set in historic heart of town, the St. Albans Farmers Market offers a sensational spread of local produce, like local specialities, cheeses, top quality meat, freshly baked cakes and read and hand-crafted gifts with street food to eat on the go.

ABC - An Intimate Evening With Martin Fry

ABC - An Intimate Evening With Martin Fry

 
 

Martin Fry will bring an evening of stripped-back music and conversation to UK theatres and he is coming to The Eric Morecambe Centre in Harpenden!

Thursday, 29th May 2025, at 7.30pm
Ages 14+
Super VIP and VIP Packages available. Super VIP ticket holders advised to arrive at 5:30pm for a 5:45pm start.

The hits earned their place in pop history. From Poison Arrow to The Look Of Love, from All Of My Heart, and Be Near Me, to When Smokey Sings, ABC were the band that redefined glamour and cool.

Led by the charismatic Martin Fry, they enjoyed TransAtlantic success as The Lexicon of Love proved as artful as a Warhol silkscreen, and glossier than Marilyn’s lipstick. ABC’s The Lexicon of Love was a brilliantly distinctive debut album, fizzing with bright ideas, and unapologetically flamboyant. Frontman Martin Fry harked back to a golden era of luxe, as though Cole Porter had been re-imagined among the narrow streets of Sheffield. Little wonder his sleek, opulent, and beautiful debut retains the affection of listeners four decades on. With good reason, it has stood the test of time. 

 Martin's intimate tour follows a sold-out tour of the UK, which included three sell-out nights at the London Palladium, and coincides with the publication of his autobiography. That’s the look, that’s the look… The Look of Love.

Standard Ticket £34.50.

Super VIP and VIP Packages available. Super VIP: £85.00 (best seats, goody bag, pre-show meet ’n’ greet); and VIP: £52.50 (a goody bag, next best seats). Super VIP ticket holders advised to arrive at 5:30pm for a 5:45pm start.

Woodfired Canteen with Adriana Cavita at Home Farm


Mexican-born Adriana Cavita grew up between Mexico City in Azcapotzalco town and Tlaxcala State in a small village called San Felipe Ixtacuixtla. Her first role in cookery came at the age of 17 as an apprentice at Nicos in Mexico City. Here, she honed her skills on the bakery section before moving on to her first full-time paid job at Pujol - currently ranked at #9 in The World’s 50 Best Restaurants - at just 19.

Adriana Cavita’s commitment and skill pushed her to apply for roles in the best restaurants in Mexico - alongside Ferran Adria as Chef de Partie at El Bulli in 2011 and later with Eduardo Garcia at Lalo! These restaurants are famed for their ongoing revolutionary approach to Mexican cooking.

Adriana moved to the UK to work as Head Chef at Peyotito in London and Ibiza. Adriana completed a residency on the rooftop of The Dorchester in June 2021, introducing her food to the capital. Adriana’s debut restaurant Cavita opened in May 2022 to a host of outstanding reviews including The Financial Times, The Evening Standard and The Independent. Her standout approach to Mexican food can be seen in her debut cookbook ‘Cocina Mexicana’, published September 2023. In February 2024, Adriana Cavita’s basement bar is relaunching as El Bar de Cavita, focussing on all Adriana’s favourite things – Margaritas, Mezcal and Mexican street food.

Nick Mulvey: in Association with Communion ONE


Following his 2021 sell-out show, folk royalty - Nick Mulvey is returning to At Home Farm. Mulvey’s music is medicine for the soul and his soundscape compliments our ethereal festoon-lit woodland setting beautifully.

Mulvey’s work pushes boundaries in both songwriting and sound. A founding member of the award-winning British collective Portico Quartet, he left in 2011 to concentrate on his own material. Once solo, he released the Mercury Prize nominated debut album First Mind in 2014, and 2017’s celebrated Wake Up Now, along with a number of EPs. His most recent album, New Mythology, was recorded during the pandemic in Paris with renowned producer Renaud Letang at Studio Ferber.

Nick has a few new projects on the horizon, but in the meantime he is celebrating the anniversary of his debut release First Mind, which features famed tracks such as “Fever to the Form” and“Cucurucu''.

Why This Event Matters:

“These past few years have been economically challenging for everyone, especially for vulnerable young people who lack the necessary support systems. Herts Young Homeless is a unique charity dedicated to preventing homelessness among at-risk youth through education, family mediation, emergency accommodation, and comprehensive support services.

Our goal is to raise £200, and we believe that with the community's support, we can achieve this and make a small but meaningful step towards helping those in need.
