Event Details
This Summer, join the adventure in a magical new play with original songs, based on Arthurian legend and the quest for a better world.
It’s Winter Solstice 2026. Grace is in A&E with Lego stuck up her nose, waiting for someone to notice her.
It’s Summer Solstice 526AD. Arthur is setting out on the journey of a lifetime: tasked with retrieving the sword for the future King.
Overlooked and wanting to be taken seriously, Grace encounters the mysterious Merlin who transports her back to the 6th century. As Grace and Arthur’s two worlds collide, their fates entwine, and together they must embark on the greatest quest they’ll ever face to retrieve Excalibur. With the future of Britain depending on them, they must overcome a fearsome beast and navigate the perils of the ancient forest – if only they can figure out how to work together….

Karate Kid The Musical at New Wimbledon Theatre (TICKETS ONLY)
Our friends at New Wimbledon Theatre invite you to an unforgettable theatrical experience, as this heartfelt coming-of-age story comes to life with spectacular musical numbers and inventive choreography.
The Karate Kid – The Musical brings the legendary 1984 film to the stage, reimagining Daniel LaRusso’s journey through movement, music, and energetic storytelling. At its heart is the powerful bond between Daniel and Mr Miyagi, who teaches that karate isn’t about fighting, but about balance, dignity, and respect.
With a Tony Award-winning design team, the production transforms iconic cinematic moments into an emotionally engaging stage experience, celebrating resilience, mentorship, and the quiet strength that bridges generations.

Meet Toto. She might look like an ordinary cat, but she’s no ordinary feline. Almost completely blind, Toto has incredible ninja skills, a big heart, and a nose for adventure. By day, she naps like any other pet… but by night, she’s out on daring missions with her cheeky brother, Silver.
In their very first adventure, a deadly King Cobra has escaped onto the streets of London, and it’s up to Toto to use every ounce of her courage and cunning to save the day.
