We are very excited to be turning Aldeburgh Jubilee Hall into a wonderful world of festive skating as part of the Aldeburgh Dickensian Christmas Festival which takes place throughout town on Saturday 7 December. Our Festive Skating Rink will be open on Friday 6, Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 December so there will be plenty of opportunity for everyone to enjoy a skating session (or more) and perhaps combine it with some Christmas shopping and a snack, lunch or supper in one of the many excellent restaurants and cafés in our town.

Why not get a group of family and friends together and make it part of your pre-Christmas celebrations?

There will be Christmas music, a snow machine, polar bear and penguin skating aids for the little ones and our festive bar will be offering mulled wine, wine, beer, soft drinks, hot chocolate and seasonal treats.

Our Festive Skating Rink is suitable for ages 4+ and children of 12 years and under must be accompanied by an adult. Skates will be provided as part of the ticket price. We recommend that you arrive at least 10 minutes prior to your ticketed skating session as sessions cannot be extended for those arriving late.

Please note that this rink is not real ice as this simply is not possible within the confines of the Hall.

This event is being sold in half-hour sessions as follows :

Friday 6 December
First session – 4 to 4.30pm
Last session – 8.30 to 9pm

Saturday 7 December
First session – 11am to 11.30pm

COMMON GROUND THEATRE COMPANY

SHERLOCK HOLMES & THE WARLOCK OF WHITECHAPEL

by

Pat Whymark & Julian Harries

Wednesday 1st, Thursday 2nd January – 4pm and 7.30pm

Friday 3rd January – 4pm

 “A glorious piece of Christmas fun” (Andrew Clark, EADT review of Justin & The Argonauts)

“Who’d be interested in this old relic, Holmes?” murmured Watson, one morning at the breakfast table of 221b Baker Street. “Nonsense, Watson. A splash of cologne and a trim of your moustache, and I’m sure someone would have you”. “Be serious, Holmes. Look here – in the Morning Post!”

Thus began the case that Dr Watson dared not share with the public, till now. A case that, were its full facts to be known, would shake the nation to its very core, and beyond.

Ancient artefacts are disappearing from museums and private collections all over Europe, a pre-Christian effigy one day, a shamanic totem the next, a pagan fetish at the weekend. Either someone’s on their own personal antiques road trip, or they’re trying to summon dark forces and gain mystical powers. But to what end…and why?

The ensuing adventure takes Holmes and Watson from the wharfs and alleys of East London, to the icy wastes of the north and the hidden temples of the east (changing at Peterborough), as they pursue “The Warlock of Whitechapel”.

Julian Harries and Dick Mainwaring once again don the deerstalker, plus fours and travelling capes of Holmes and Watson, and are joined by Common Ground regulars Joe Leat & Emily Bennett in this classic Xmas comedy thriller.

Ticket Prices – full: £13   21 and under, and those in receipt of income support: £7 (evidence may be required)

Running time 2 hours (incl. interval)

Doors open half an hour before the performance

Suitable for ages 8+

or in person from Aldeburgh Cinema, 51 High Street, Aldeburgh (Monday to Saturday 10am – 1.15pm) or by telephone on 01728 454884
