5 things to do this weekend in Yorkshire
The Addams Family
Everybody’s favourite kooky family have arrived on stage at The Alhambra Theatre in Bradford.
Wednesday Addams is all grown up and has a shocking secret – she has fallen in love with a sweet young man from a respectable family. But how will the two families cope with a fateful dinner with hilarious consequences. This heart-warming story, with a twist, will also see Uncle Fester, played by Les Dennis and Morticia, played by Samantha Womack take to the stage. Find out more here.
Kirkstall Festival
Head to Kirkstall Abbey on Saturday for the annual Kirkstall Festival. The event, which last year attracted 25,000 people, will host a whole range of entertainment and fun for all the family to enjoy. There will be a fairground, a battle of the bands competition, over 160 stalls to browse and plenty of food and drink to enjoy. There will also be eight performance areas, with everything from comedy and classical to rock and jazz set to take to the stage. Find out more here.
Anne Reid: I Love To Sing
We have loved watching Anne Reid in everything from Dinnerladies to Last Tango in Halifax, but she is also a cabaret performer. She will be bringing her show to York’s Theatre Royal this weekend, where she will present an evening of songs, as well as a host of stories, including filming with Daniel Craig and performing at Buckingham Palace.
