Jurassic Park

6th Sep - 14th Sep

A group of scientists are invited to give their approval to a theme park filled with genetically engineered dinosaurs, but the giant reptiles are soon running amok. Top-notch computer effects ensure that the dinosaurs themselves are terrifyingly believable (more so than the PG certificate would suggest), but by the half-way point, it's more or less a chase movie with superior technology.

The Mersey Beatles

4th Nov

Beatles tribute band -- authentic Scousers and Cavern Club regulars.

Tickets from £24.00

Ed Byrne: Tragedy Plus Time

With his TV career now in its third decade, Ed has regularly appeared on the likes of QI, Mock The Week, Alan Davies As Yet Untitled, and Live At The Apollo.
