Free Admission – Donations welcome. Saturday 14th March Blitzed Britain At 4:56pm on 7th September 1940, the air raid sirens wailed as the German Air Force launched a massive raid on London. Over 350 bombers flew across the Channel from airfields in France and dropped 300 tons of bombs on the docks and streets of the East End of London. The Blitz had begun, a constant rain of death that fell heaviest on London and hammered other cities. Month after month, German bombers attacked British cities, ports and industry. London was bombed every day and night, bar one, for 11 weeks. During the Blitz 32,000 civilians were killed and 87,000 were seriously injured. How did people live with this death from the air? What could you do to help you survive? Meet an Air Raid Warden and discover how to stay alive. 1pm to 2.30pm. £5 per child. Tel: [phone]. Bourne Hall Museum, Spring Street, Ewell, Surrey KT17 1UF. Friday 20th & Saturday 21st March Wendy and Peter Pan Tragedy strikes the Darling family early on in this adaption of this classic tale, Wendy and Peter Pan. One night, a strange boy crashes through the nursery window and suddenly Wendy and her brothers are off with Peter Pan to Neverland for an awfully big adventure. She’ll have to contend with a fractious fairy called Tink give the Lost Boys a run for their money, and face up to the dastardly Captain Hook and his pirate crew. Along the way she’ll have the chance to recover her parent’s happiness and learn what it means to grow up. Ella Hickson’s radical retelling of J.M. Barrie’s much- loved story is a play (not a pantomime) and puts Wendy centre stage in an adaption that is refreshingly modern whilst never losing the charm of the original.

Saturday 21st March Welcome All Wonders - Epsom Chamber Choir spring concert Inspiring the title of Epsom Chamber Choir’s spring concert is music by contemporary British composer Jonathan Dove. Included on the bill are Vaughan Williams’ Mass in G minor, Stanford’s Latin Magnificat and John Tavener’s ‘Hymn to the Mother of God’. James Henshaw returns as guest conductor for this spring concert in which the choir draws on the rich vein of English choral music. Anthems by Byrd and Tallis from five centuries ago are contrasted with works from both the early and late twentieth-century. A piece by another fine 20th century choral composer, Gerald Finzi, is also being performed but this time not by the choir but by clarinet and piano – his wonderfully rhapsodic ‘Bagatelles’. 7.30pm. Tickets: £14 in advance, £16 on the door. Under 18 free. Tel: [phone]. Text: 07940 486163. St Martin of Tours Church, Church Street, Epsom, Surrey KT17 4PX.
