Big Goldilocks And The 3 Bears Plus...

Welcome everybody to another amazing Children's Show here at The Nettlefold Hall!

We're almost in June and we all know that the weather is getting better and better and that we all love going for walks in the park and swimming with the sky above us and cycle around the neighbourhood and do all kinds of out doors activities.

But...

We miss that sense of being told a story around a fireplace and it being something secret and special and just for us, separated for a few moments from the rest of the world.

And, it was thinking of you and your expectations that we are pleased to host another fantastic Children's Show here at The Nettlefold.

(and if you were here for last month's show I'm sure you'll be happy to know that Booster Cushion is back with us...)

Big Goldilocks And The Three Bears Plus...
(a BOOSTER CUSHION THEATRE production)

("a six foot book. A six foot plus Goldilocks. A cloudy ARC. Twenty plus animals. A six foot plus Teddy Boy, plus participation. Add up to make a comical, physical show for four year olds plus... you!")

Now comes the easy part. Just follow these easy steps.

1 - Go to the nearest kitchen and grab a calendar (nevermind if it's not your calendar or even your kitchen - this is important stuff!)

(and you can always invite them...

(hint, hint!)

2 - Grab a pen from the nearest pen holder, desk or messy drawer (it's in there! I'm sure of it!) that you can find.

3 - Look at the calendar with your eyes open.

(this is extremely important for sometimes people look at things with their eyes closed and then, of course, they don't see anything at all - it can be very confusing)

4 - With your pen, mark a clear circle around the 8th of June 2009.

(we don't want next year's calendars or any old ones. We demand up to date stuff because this is serious business)

(and don't forget to open it on the month of JUNE)

5 - Now make a little note on the side:

Comic Writing For The Mid-Life Crisis

This coming Thursday the 14th of May, the Nettlefold is proud to present two of Britain's greatest comedians, Arthur Smith and Mark Steel.

We've all heard about them.
Be it watching Grumpy Old Men, or going to the West End to see An Evening With Gary Lineker, or reading a certain weekly column in The Independent, or simply listening to Radio 4.


Or reading books.

After all, Arthur Smith's autobiography My Name Is Daphne Fairfax and Mark Steel's What's Going On? are up and about allowing us to enter a bit more into their unpredictably clever minds.

So don't miss this opportunity to see them both live!

Tickets are free but you will need to book in advance!
















Call on: 020 7926 1075

or write to: readersandwriters@lambeth.gov.uk

to book!

(to tell you the truth we don't exactly know what's going to happen here. This is a bit like the weather. We may try to predict but being there is something else entirely....)

Come and join us and two grumpy comedians with plenty to say!

(you might find that they're not so crazy after all...)

Current affairs! Life! The universe!

You name it!

(and why wearing eye patches is no longer a synonym of being dangerously fashionable...)

(well... maybe it never was...)

A Charmed Life

Film Showing with Introduction by Patrick Vernon

Friday 8 May 2009, 7pm @ The Nettlefold Hall


A documentary film charting the life of Eddie Martin Noble (1917-2007), it examines personal historical perspectives on issues around colonisation of the Caribbean and racial inequality in post-war Britain.

The film raises issues of the legacy of the Windrush Generation in Britain as Eddie, a RAF Pilot, comes to terms with a post war reality.

In this fascinating film, the story of Eddie Noble becomes a story for us all and inspired the book Small Island by Andrea Levy.


Join Director Patrick Vernon as he introduces ‘A Charmed Life’.
