Royal Mews
The Royal Mews is one of the finest working stables anywhere in the world and home to the royal collection of historic coaches and carriages, and the Windsor Greys and Cleveland Bays, the horses that pull the carriages. To this day, the stables are still responsible for all road travel arrangements for His Majesty The King and other members of the Royal Family. The Royal Mews has been the location of the sovereign’s road transport since 1760 when George III moved his carriage collection closer to his new home at Buckingham Palace – since then it has been updated by several monarchs in keeping with their changing transport needs. Among the historic coaches and carriages on display are the spectacular Diamond Jubilee State Coach, and the Australian State Coach, which was given to Queen Elizabeth II as a gift from the Australian people, and even includes central heating! The most dazzling of all is the Gold State Coach, which has been used at every coronation since that of William IV, and which played a starring role in the Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June 2022. Families visiting the Royal Mews will love posing for a photo while sitting in a replica of Queen Victoria's Semi-State Landau carriage, dressing up as a footman in specially created livery, or even learning how to harness a horse! As well as a complimentary multimedia guide for every visitor, the Royal Mews offers regular guided tours where visitors can learn the history of the Mews and its association with the British monarchy.

Ding-Dong Music, Chelsea
Ding-Dong children are now ready to learn to read music - this is a huge milestone and paves the way for a bright musical future! TIME TO SING Singing comes naturally to Monkey and his oldest friends. Everyone is invited to take the lead in singing games and to sing a solo ‘spot’ (not compulsory!). Familiar songs form the basis for vocal improvisation and encourage children to share story ideas. TIME TO MOVE Playing together and inventing dances is what our Ding-Dongers like to do best! Dance of the ‘Autumn Leaves’ is always a moving highlight of our Ding-Dong year! TIME TO PLAY Learning to read music is an integral element to each class. These clever monkeys use their new reading skills to compose and write their own music which they play with their friends. TIME TO LISTEN Each week the children focus on finding out more about an instrument from the orchestra. As they begin to recognise the different orchestral sounds, the children begin to express their preferences. This is excellent preparation for choosing which instrument to learn to play later on! Our Ding-Dong classes are suitable for Stage four for 3 + 4 year olds.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Part 2
Experience the enchantment of the wizarding world like never before! For devoted Harry Potter fans, the final chapter of the beloved series left them yearning for more magical adventures. But fear not, dear muggles! Get your Potter fix with Harry Potter and the Cursed Child! What is Harry Potter And The Cursed Child About? Harry Potter and the Cursed Child picks up precisely where the last book's epilogue left off—19 years after the climactic Battle of Hogwarts in the Second Wizarding War. Harry is no longer the young wizard we once knew, but an overworked employee at the Ministry of Magic and a devoted husband and father to three children. But the past is a persistent force, haunting Harry's every step. Meanwhile, his youngest son Albus grapples with the daunting weight of a family legacy he never asked for nor desired. Prepare for spectacular spells, a mind-blowing race through time, and an epic battle to stop mysterious forces, all while the future hangs in the balance… No Muggles! - About Harry Potter The Harry Potter series follows a young wizard named Harry who lives with his non-magical relatives until his eleventh birthday, when he is invited to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. J.K. Rowling completed the first book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in June 1995 and was rejected by 12 publishers before Bloomsbury bought it. Rowling went on to write six sequels, which follow Harry's adventures at Hogwarts with friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley and his attempts to defeat Lord Voldemort, a dark wizard who killed Harry’s parents when he was a child. The books were transformed into a blockbuster series of eight films released over 10 years, which grossed more than $7 billion worldwide. The series has since prompted a massive amount of related merchandise including, but not limited to, clothing, video games, spin-off prequels, and a US theme park! Harry Potter and The Cursed Child opened at the Palace Theatre in 2016 to rave reviews and has been going strong ever since! The show also opened at the Lyric Theatre on Broadway in 2018 and is also still running.

Disney Hercules The Musical
The musical, inspired by the animated film, based on the ancient myth. It's what classical civilisation would have wanted. Ancient Greece. A time of gods, mortals… and Hercules, who isn’t quite either. But if he's not a god, how can he possibly save the world from Hades? It's one thing flexing those pecs, but going from zero to hero requires a different kind of strength. Get ready for a wise-cracking, column-shaking, underworld-rocking ride of adventure, self-discovery and love. In tunics. Directed and choreographed by Casey Nicholaw, with music by Alan Menken, lyrics by David Zippel, a brand-new book by Robert Horn and Kwame Kwei-Armah, and co-choreography by Tanisha Scott, Disney’s Hercules delivers a thrilling night out at London’s Theatre Royal Drury Lane that leaves you ready to conquer anything.
