Welcome to Autumn 2019 at The Cresset and another huge range of live entertainment and events. We couldn’t resist including this gorgeous photo of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang who visited Peterborough at the launch event for PODS’ fantastic production this October half term. As we write this tickets are selling fast, so book early!

Of course there’s a lot more than Chitty in the programme this season. Autumn inevitably brings good comedy to The Cresset, and as well as the monthly Comedy Clubs, we’re looking forward to seeing Ben Elton in his first stand-up show for 15 years, and the brilliant Russell Kane who makes a welcome return.

There’s plenty for music fans too, whatever your taste, so have a browse through the brochure and we’re pretty sure something will grab your attention! If you’ve got young children, you won’t be a stranger to Iggle Piggle and friends - we hope you’ll bring the little ones along to In The Night Garden Live in October! And of course we can’t wait until the clock strikes 12 and we’re off to pantoland with the magical fairytale Cinderella to end the year.

We look forward to seeing you soon!
