CarmenCo perform Spanish and Spanish inspired music as a play, with costumes, props and a storyline that roughly follows the story of Bizet's opera Carmen, but told from her point of view. Dare you consult the cards with her? What does she think of  the men in her story? Did she foresee her gruesome ending? And does she like the opera Bizet wrote for her?

The prizewinning trio of Emily Andrews, flautist/mezzo, David Massey and Francisco Corroa, guitars, will have the audience in turn laughing out loud and listening in silence to the immersive and evocative music; a brilliantly accessible and fun way to present classical music.

Tickets £16.60 including a £1 booking fee added at checkout.

Cabaret style seating downstairs, church pews in the balcony. Doors and bar open 45 minutes before the show starts.

Simon Yates of Touching the Void presents My Mountain Life.

On the remote Siula Grande in Peru in June 1985, mountaineer Simon Yates found himself in a desperately unenviable position - slowly being pulled off the mountainside by his injured partner, Joe Simpson, dangling on the rope 50m below. His decision to cut the rope saved both their lives in an epic of survival. With the publication of the book 'Touching the Void', later film and stage play, both climbers became household names.

Come along and witness Simon's tireless journey from that mountain in Peru to some of the remotest on the planet and share with him the drama, excitement and beauty of modern, lightweight alpinism. Told with wit and lavishly illustrated with images and film collected on his great climbs.

Tickets £17.50 including £1 booking fee added at checkout.

Watson - an old soldier with a few bruises and a cracking story to tell.

It's 1894, Watson is alone; his beloved wife Mary and the great Sherlock Holmes are both gone. London seethes with false reports and rumour; it's time to set the record straight.

So, Watson tells his tale ...... a tale of long buried secrets, betrayal and death. For there is a shadow in the gutters of London. A spider's web of poisonous intrigue lies across the city. Someone is playing a long game and Holmes and Watson face their greatest challenge ever. But as Watson unravels the story, is the game really over?

Watson is performed by Tim Marriott (BBC's Brittas Empire), and directed by Bert Coules (BBC's The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Cadfael and Rebus).

The Winchcombe Players Present

The Vicar of Dibley

A stage adaptation by Ian Gower and Paul Carpenter

Based on the original BBC TV series

Written by Richard Curtis and Paul Mayhew-Archer

Produced by Tiger Aspect Productions

It's the mid 1990's and Britpop rules the airwaves. When the new vicar arrives in the sleepy English village of Dibley the last thing the locals are expecting is a woman. But the irrepressibly cheerful Reverend Geraldine Granger soon wins over the hearts and minds of her flock.

All of the familiar characters are here including Mrs Cropley and her interesting cuisine, Jim Trott with his vocal tics, the dippy star-crossed lovers Alice and Hugo,  the colonically-challenged farmer Owen and David Horton the pompous parish council chairman.

Not suitable for children under 12 due to some adult content.  Tickets £15 in the main auditorium or £16 on the balcony (includes a £1 booking fee added at checkout)

Note that balcony seats are accessed by a very steep and winding staircase and are on church pews.

An all-string jazz quartet of violin (Fenner Curtis), guitars (Andy Bowen and Sam Hughes) and double bass (Tomasz Williams), inspired by the music of the 1930s, '40s and '50s: from Benny Goodman, Charlie Christian and Artie Shaw to Django Reinhardt, Stephane Grappelli and the master of tango Astor Piazzolla.

Their Parisian flavoured jazz and gypsy swing has been delighting audiences for over 15 years from major jazz festivals to the BBC's hairy bikers and the opening of Gloucester Services.

Tickets £16 including £1 booking fee added at checkout.

Seating will be theatre style. Doors and bar open 45 minutes before the performance starts.

A Sons of Town Hall show is more than a concert, it's an immersive experience unlike any other. American songwriter/author David Berkley and British songwriter/ producer Ben Parker are the men beneath the hats in this transatlantic folk duo. They are also stars of the hilarious radio-theatre podcast series Madmen Cross the Water.

Sons of Town Hall is creating an entirely new performance genre: part live concept album, part performance art; the pair conjure their timeless mythic universe under the aliases Joshua Chester Jones and George Ulysses Brown, 19th century vagabonds who travel the world in a hand-built boat to escape troubled pasts and search for adventure and love.

The Sons weave wild stories between their heartbreaking and rousing songs, taking audiences on a deeply imaginative trip every show. For fans of Simon and Garfunkel, Tom Waites and Monty Pytoin alike, concertgoers are uplifted and inspired, transfixed and transformed, in awe of Sons of Town Hall's harmonies, and drunk on adventure and the tragic beauty of the human condition.

Tickets £18 incluing £1 booking fee added at checkout.
