Fresh from the runway of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, comedy crossdresser Kate Butch has written a jukebox musical based on the songs of Kate Bush (kind of like if Mamma Mia! had a nervous breakdown) but now she needs your help to get “BUSH!” to Broadway.
Join the ‘great comedian’ (WhatsOnStage) as she runs up that hill, with stand-up comedy, live vocals, lip sync extravanganzas and more cloudbusting than you can shake a stick at.
Buxton Fringe Best Comedy 2017 and 2019.

The cost per child is £33 (+ Eventbrite booking fee) and includes a day of outdoor games and bushcraft activities led by experienced leaders.
This workshop will explore how to bring a little more calm and self-care into our daily life through yoga and life coaching.
So often we try to implement new habits that don’t quite stick... an hour on our yoga mat every morning, a yin practice before bed every night. It sounds great, but in practice it just doesn’t quite work. We want to explore some small but effective practices that can be easily implemented into a busy life in a way that really works for you.
