For those wanting something a little more risqué, Missy Malone can be seen tomorrow (Friday).

There will be dance and magic plus much more. She was named in the 21st Century Burlesque International’s top 50 burlesque dancers and has been branded by Cotswold Style Magazine as a “burlesque phenomenon”.

And the following day will see a concert from a personal mentor to Oscar winning musician Sam Smith.

Joanna Eden’s show Joni & Me will be a heartfelt musical tribute to her icon Joni Mitchell.
