And for the slightly stronger of constitution - Circus of Horrors: Day of the Dead (i'm not sure I'm QUITE tough enough for this one ;-))

Rock tunes, gore, circus acts and mayhem - if you like your tunes loud and your films bloody then this is definitely for you!

It amazing to think that this theatre company has been touring for 15 years, and I haven't been dragged along to it yet!

We're all very exited about this one - Florence and the Machine coming to Wolverhampton

The triple Brit Award winner, who playing the NME tour in Birmingham last year, is back with her own Cosmic Love Tour. It's a bit of a victory for us too, as she's only doing 5 dates in all, TWO of them here (10th and 11th May)
