6 July — 17 August 2020 Tickets from £3.00 — Book now

Due to the unprecedented situation regarding Covid-19, the Royal Exchange building is currently closed. However, our good friends at the Royal Exchange Theatre have been working hard to bring their Elders Monday sessions online.

Suitable for those aged 60+, the interactive sessions will continue to take place on the 1st and 3rd Mondays of the month and will be delivered via the Zoom video calling platform. Reach out, stay connected and remain creative.

In order to assist those who aren’t familiar with Zoom, the good guys at the Royal Exchange are on hand to help those who need support to join the session, with a fully accessible Zoom tutorial and guide.

Discover Lotherton, a country estate, historic hall and Wildlife World zoo. Our Edwardian estate is truly a great place for a family day out, with plenty to keep children and grown ups entertained! The expansive grounds and gardens are lovely walking spots, with or without four-legged companions. Each season brings new surprises including wild garlic in the spring, a sea of colourful blooms in summer in the formal gardens and stunning autumnal colours later on in the year. We have two playgrounds which means there's plenty of space for running about and letting off steam, with zip wires for older children to enjoy. Our evolving zoo, Wildlife World, is a real highlight of any visit and we'd highly recommend popping by to see the Humboldt penguins splash and swim in their pool. Other colourful characters include Arthur the tapir, our resident porcupines and a flamboyance of pink flamingos.
