This is a spooktacular spotting trail within the Hall. Batilda the resident witch fell from her broom, scattering ingredients in every room! Find them all, get them right, to make a potion for Halloween night! There is a small prize if you find all the ingredients and you might even get to meet Batilda, our slightly scary witch!

A description for this event reads: "STAR ACTOR GARRY ESSENDINE'S COLOURFUL LIFE IS IN DANGER OF SPIRALLING OUT OF CONTROL.

"Suave, hedonistic and too old, says his ex-wife, to be having numerous affairs. When the full extent of his misdemeanours are discovered, all hell breaks loose. As he prepares to embark on an overseas tour, Garry is consumed by an intensifying identity crisis as his many relationships compete for his attention.

"His few remaining days at home are a chaotic whirlwind of love, sex, panic and soul-searching. PRESENT LAUGHTER, Noël Coward's irresistible and semi-autobiographical comedy, is a surprisingly modern reflection on fame, desire and loneliness."

Enjoy some classic rock 'n' roll at Stockport Plaza on Saturday 21 October from 7.30pm.

A description for this event reads: "This breathtaking show has rock 'n' rolled audiences across the globe from Cardiff to California, Barking to Bangkok and Swindon to Sweden and is guaranteed to have everyone singing along to the music and dancing in the aisles.

"It stars some of the finest actor-musicians in the UK whose combined West End credits include Buddy, Lennon, Forbidden Planet and Jailhouse Rock and was endorsed as Britain's most popular Buddy Holly act when the boys guested on BBC One's Saturday night live programme, "The One and Only", hosted by Graham Norton.

"The show rarely pauses for breath and is, quite simply, the most compelling concert of its kind. The hits just keep on coming – That'll Be The Day, Peggy Sue, Heartbeat, It Doesn't Matter Anymore, Raining In My Heart, Oh Boy! – and much, much more.

"Whatever the season, whatever the excuse to party, make your Heartbeat a little faster with the show that has thousands of fans the world over saying: 'I can't believe it's not Buddy!'"
