Independent-minded Lizzy finds disdainful Mr Darcy detestable! Or does she…? Can she see beyond his pride – and could he overcome her prejudice – to consider a possible future together? Hi-jinks ensue.\n \n\nWith her tongue firmly in her cheek\, Jane Austen tells us “It is a truth universally acknowledged\, that a single man in possession of a good fortune\, must be in want of a wife.” Mrs Bennet certainly thinks so. So when Mr Bingley – single\, young\, handsome\, and with £5000 a year – moves into nearby Netherfield Park\, she devotes all her energy to contriving for Jane\, the eldest of her five daughters\, to meet him during rural Hertfordshire’s whirlwind of social balls. But even Mrs Bennet draws the line at Mr Bingley’s disdainful friend Mr Darcy despite his whopping £10\,000 a year. Thank heavens Lizzy\, her second daughter\, finds him detestable too! Or does she…? Can she see beyond his pride – and could he overcome her prejudice – to consider a possible future together?\n\n \nAward-winning theatre company Illyria returns to celebrate Jane Austen’s 250th birthday in sparkling style.\nIf you joined us last year for Illyria’s production of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet\, you’ll appreciate just how special these open-air shows are. We’re particularly blessed here at St Mary’s as our Glebe performance space not only offers a quiet and sheltered spot for picnic and a show but also provides an unparalleled vantage point from which to admire Ruskin’s View.\n \n***The show starts at 6PM but gates open at 5PM for picnicking – it’s the perfect way to spend a lazy Sunday\, as afternoon melts into evening and you wander home in the fading light.***\n \nBring a folding chair or blanket as well as a picnic – and please dress for the weather. Last year we had a lovely sunny evening so suncream\, sun hats and insect repellent were the order of the day\, but you might need a fleece and a cagoule!\n \nTickets are limited and last year people travelled from a distance to see Illyria’s performance. This year\, Keswick\, Keighley and Brampton are the next nearest locations to us\, so we’re anticipating high demand. Please book soon so we can organise stewarding\n \n RESERVATIONS URL:https://stmarysevents.kirkbylonsdale.org/event/pride-prejudice/ LOCATION:The Glebe Field\, St Mary's Church\, Kirkby Lonsdale\, Cumbria\, LA6 2AX\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:The Glebe ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://stmarysevents.kirkbylonsdale.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/NoBodiesTS-1.png ORGANIZER;CN="St Mary's Church":MAILTO:hello@stmarysevents.kirkbylonsdale.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250627T193000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250627T213000 DTSTAMP:20250527T100232Z CREATED:20250226T101527Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250527T100232Z UID:4422484-1751052600-1751059800@stmarysevents.kirkbylonsdale.org SUMMARY:Fred & Friends DESCRIPTION:North-West based band Fred and Friends are looking forward to performing at St Mary’s\, Kirkby Lonsdale for an evening of splendid live music.

Miss Nobodies was inspired by outreach done online and in the community of Great Harwood alongside research into local history and prominent figures of Lancashire. One such person is Ethel Carnie Holdsworth. A writer that worked in the mills in the early part of the last century. She is cited as the first working class\, female novelist in the UK and parts of her poetry are used throughout the play to punctuate the stories. The show mixes poetry\, storytelling and music\, to tell the story of a local shop spanning 100 years from 1919 to present day\, focusing on the women that have made up the shop’s history\, whilst also showing how the lives of women have changed over the last century. \nBlack Liver\, as heard on BBC Radio 4\, seen on BBC 1 and Sky TV have toured all over the world. They bring their unique style of theatre-making and comedy to connect to their audience and bring stories to life. \nQuotesNominated for best new show 2022 Buxton Fringe‘Iconic’ Forgotten Arts Fest‘Highly Recommended’ Buxton FringeAudience Reactions \n‘Miss Nobodies- ordinary women\, living extraordinary lives and superbly told this evening.

Yet he always seems to be troubled by disagreeable tradesmen\, impertinent young office clerks and wayward friends\, not to mention his devil-may-care son Lupin with his unsuitable choice of bride. Try as he might\, he cannot avoid life’s embarrassing mishaps. \nBased on an 1892 novel by brothers George and Weedon Grossmith\, the bumbling Pooter has become an enduring comic character in a book that delivers a searing satire on the snobberies of middle-class suburbia – one which also sends up late Victorian crazes for spiritualism and bicycling\, as well as the fashion for publishing diaries by anybody and everybody. \nThis one-man show\, brought to you by theatre group ‘Don’t Go Into the Cellar’ and starring award-winning actor and writer Jonathan Goodwin promises to be a highlight of St Mary’s SS25 season. \n“Don’t go into the Cellar never disappoint. Over the last few years they have brought a range of productions to our theatre and all have been well received. Jonathan always throws his heart and soul in to the show. He is a wonderful actor and storyteller and is able to bring every character alive.” The Heron Theatre\, Milnthorpe. \n“It’s always a pleasure to work with Don’t Go into the Cellar.

What better time to think about them then before they’re gone forever.In this show James uses his trademarked (not officially trademarked) conversational\, funny and musical style to the subject of the wonders of life. \nA story about Life\, Humanity and of course James Rowland will die at the end of the show.James says – “I have tried to always make shows that are accessible for all audiences\, that are heartfelt and human. I’ve been lucky enough to tour with Highlights several times before and it’s an honour and always a (excuse the pun) highlight of my year. I can also perform a double bill with one of the other two shows in the trilogy if a venue hasn’t had one of them before – this may help by adding an interval!” \nJames’s unique charm has impressed so many Highlights’ audiences over the years – this is the last show in the trilogy which includes Learning to Fly and Piece of Work\, which both sold out at Edinburgh Fringe and received wonderful reviews at Highlights venues in 2022 and 2023.. \n★★★★★ ‘In its specificity\, this narrative deftly touches on profound truths about what it means to be human. It captures\, with remarkable precision\, the joyful\, sad\, ridiculous mess of it all.’ The Guardian★★★★ ‘…Very funny\, disarmingly honest and surprisingly tender’ The Scotsman \nEvent Details \n*£10 – £12Doors Open at 6:45PMStarts at 7:30PM*All tickets carry a small booking fee shown at time of purchase \nBar will be available\, selling; Kirkby Lonsdale Beers\, Wine\, Soft Drinks and Snacks \nTicketing Provider https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/highlights/t-zzqmzrz URL:https://stmarysevents.kirkbylonsdale.org/event/james-rowland-dies-at-the-end-of-the-show/ LOCATION:St Mary’s Church\, Church St\, Kirkby Lonsdale\, Cumbria\, LA6 2AX\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:St Mary's ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://stmarysevents.kirkbylonsdale.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/James-Rowland-Dies.png ORGANIZER;CN="St Mary's Church":MAILTO:hello@stmarysevents.kirkbylonsdale.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20241012T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20241012T200000 DTSTAMP:20240816T144515Z CREATED:20240816T135404Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240816T144515Z UID:4416379-1728756000-1728763200@stmarysevents.kirkbylonsdale.org SUMMARY:Harvest Cèilidh DESCRIPTION:Join us for a vibrant Harvest Cèilidh at St Mary’s!

In the Highway Cello show\, he reads some dramatic excerpts from the book he wrote about it\, plays some of the music\, and tells the story. \nCome and enjoy the ride! The Highway Cello began when\, in the summer of 2022\, Kenneth Wilson cycled from Hadrian’s Wall to Rome (“from the edge of Empire to its heart”). He built a rack for the back of his old Dawes Galaxy bike\, strapped his carbon fibre cello to it and set off. Cycling the length of England\, through France and over the Alps to Italy\, Kenneth played the cello every day – in scheduled and pop-up concerts\, busking and responding to the moment. Kenneth lives at the foot of Hartside pass\, at Ravenbridge Mill\, Cumbria. \nRunning time (approx): 110 mins (inc interval)Suitable for 12+.
