Theatre
Jane Eyre
Rose Theatre
Freedom beckons when Jane Eyre is offered a position as governess at the home of the brooding and enigmatic Mr Rochester. But when long-buried secrets come to light, she must choose between the man she loves and the woman she wants to become.
Toto
Polka Theatre, Wimbledon
Adapted from the beautifully illustrated children’s book by Ximo Abadia, set course on an adventure to the moon with a strong-willed little donkey and a carrot-filled rocket. Perfect for young’uns!
Music
Epsom Symphony Orchestra Autumn Concert
Epsom Playhouse, 17 October
Join the Epsom Symphony Orchestra as they mark the start of their 75th year of making music. The programme opens with Brahms’ lively and jovial Academic Festival Overture.
Family Fun
Hey Duggee Trail
Kew Gardens
Families can explore Hey Duggee’s vibrant world at Kew Gardens through an interactive trail filled with educational activities, games, and outdoor adventures.
Food
Alba
Knightsbridge
Since opening last year, Alba has established itself as a glamorous Knightsbridge hotspot offering polished Italian cuisine for a well-heeled crowd. Now, a Japanese menu and omakase experience has just landed, planting a 10-seat counter along one side of the restaurant. The sushi offering is absolutely incredible.
