Waxing Lyrical
Weekends
The National Wax Museum Plus in association with Alive-O Productions present Waxing Lyrical – a rib-tickling comedy tour of the wax museum. This is an over 16s event due to the ‘colourful’ nature of the guides as they relish in spinning colourful yarns about the waxen characters you’ll encounter and offer up their own unique take on history.

Dance Therapy Factory
Tuesdays 7:45 pm
When our lives are busy, or involve caring for and supporting others, it is essential that we take space to recharge and nurture ourselves. Through dance, music, free movement and body awareness practice we can ground ourselves, release accumulated tension and stress, and recognise where we hold on so that we can unwind and let go, encouraging us to stay open-hearted and present for ourselves, our relationships and our work.
