By Kirsty Smallman Being a mother to a four-year-old and a two-year-old my husband and I can’t pass any Peppa Pig toys or promotional material without an “I want” from one of them. So when producers of Peppa Pig’s Big Splash live show announced it was arriving at Shrewsbury’s Theatre Severn I knew it was a show I would not […]

Pop-up Italian – the perfect night out.
12 Mar 2014
By Lorna McCann I don’t get the chance to go out much these days as I’m sure is the case with most parents who have young children. So, when Sofood! announced they were going to host a pop-up Italian night on February 28th it seemed like the perfect excuse to draft in the babysitters and join the rest of the […]
Just call me Julia…
19 Feb 2014
Well, my first visit to the opera was a success. I really enjoyed it and Katherine Jenkins can be safe in the knowledge that people of all shapes and sizes were alongside me in the seats at Theatre Severn so Shrewsbury is sharing the opera with all genders and all ages. I went in with a mind full of Julia […]
Kirsty recently paid a visit to The Place in Oakengates to watch The Moscow State Circus - needless to say it was a total hit! Read all about it here!
Christmas officially arrived for me today as the first panto performance of the season kicked off at The Place in Oakengates, Telford. As a family with a three-and-a-half-year-old and a 20-month-old, we joined hundreds of schoolchildren from across the county to watch Cinderella. With flamboyant costumes and a show packed full of quality singing and dancing including a special song […]
Kevin Bl*ody Wilson – hilarious, filthy, non-PC and I loved it! Theatre Severn, Shrewsbury
01 Jan 2014
I have a confession. Until last night I was a Kevin Bl*ody Wilson virgin. That’s right I’d never seen him on tour, watched his DVD or read his book. At Theatre Severn in Shrewsbury last night as the majority of the audience joined in with the singing (and they weren’t the conventional words I knew!) it was clear I was […]
Taking a three year old and 18 month old to a theatre for a 90 minute show may sound like a nightmare to some parents but if you have read my previous blogs on Eddie and Archie’s experiences at Theatre Severn in Shrewsbury then you’ll know what they do. They don’t talk, don’t move and simply nod when we check […]
On Sunday I’ll be going on a time machine with my husband and two young sons. Okay so perhaps it won’t be a real time machine but in the eyes of my two young sons, aged three and 18 months, who will be watching Andy and Mike’s Tick-Tock Time Machine show at Theatre Severn it will be very real! We […]
A glass slipper? Not really the footwear of the day in this torrential rain but it was the topic of conversation at Madeley Court Hotel today. Oh no it wasn’t? You’ve guessed it – Telford’s panto season is on its way with the arrival of the town’s own star Lucy Pollard as Cinderella. At just 19 years old and her […]
Vintage Steam Rally…. Me? Yes please!
01 Jan 2014
Despite living in Shropshire all of my life I had never visited the Shrewsbury Vintage Steam & Vintage Vehicle Rally until today! The fact I am now outnumbered and have three men in my life (one husband who has the backing of a three-year-old son and a 16-month-old son) means the boys and their toys win! But this evening I […]
