Presented by Mary Sharp. 
When Lucy ventures through the wardrobe into Narnia, when Harry Potter opens his acceptance letter, and when Neo takes the red pill from Morpheus, they all discover that the worlds they thought they knew are only part of the truth. From Plato onwards, writers and artists have been inspired to push beyond the everyday and to create other worlds that inspire our imaginations. This lecture explores what these stories tell us about how we view our lives and what it is that we most desire. Mary is an experienced broadcaster and teacher with particular expertise in literature and drama. She has worked as a producer and commissioning editor for BBC Radio 4, a teacher and director of sixth form at a leading girls’ grammar school and now runs her own company 'Opening Up Literature'.

This globe-trotting tour-de-force has been smashing records, and collecting accolades since its humble beginnings in 1997. The original Faulty Towers Dining Experience, it has been labelled one of Australia’s greatest theatre exports, captivating audiences for 28 years running, touring globally in 43 countries, and welcoming well over 1 million guests through its doors.

Faulty Towers The Dining Experience is the longest running Fawlty Towers show of any kind worldwide! Allow Basil, Sybil and Manuel to serve up chaos as you are treated to a delicious 70s-style, 3-course meal as hilarity ensues! Definitely one worth getting off the couch for.

Come and see why this smash hit has been labelled “theatre at its startling best” (Best of Theatre, London West End) as the iconic trio brings the famous British BBC series to life in a dining experience like no other. Be sure to secure your tickets early, as this smash-hit sells out quickly wherever it goes.

This is the show where you step inside the TV series and become part of the action itself. Highly improvised, highly interactive, and fully immersive, join the action for an unforgettable night where guests are not just audience members, but highly esteemed guests of Basil, Sybil, and Manuel! Pack your sense of humour and be prepared for a hotel experience where anything can (and will) go wrong…

⭐Are you wanting to learn how to use a drone on your farm OR how to map your farm and utilise the data using a drone? Now’s your chance!

🚁🌾 Drones are transforming modern agriculture — from precision crop mapping to smarter livestock management. With high-resolution aerial imaging and real-time data, farmers can monitor crop health, irrigation, and soil conditions while also tracking livestock, checking fences, and locating animals across large properties quickly and efficiently. This technology helps reduce costs, save time, improve yields, and support more sustainable farming practices. The future of farming is smarter, faster, and flying above us. 🐄📍
