Beverley Theatre Company (BTC) are pleased to announce that their Spring production will be the dark comedy ‘The Killing of Sister George’, by Frank Marcus.

In the 1800s there was an explosion of interest in natural history. Clergymen were particularly enthusiastic in embracing the subject, leading to the name parson-naturalist.
The new exhibition, which is now open at the Treasure House in Beverley, ‘Birds, Books and Belfries,’ explores the remarkable life and work of parson-naturalist Reverend Francis Orpen Morris (1810 – 1893) who studied nature, wrote books and campaigned for wildlife, all combined with his role as vicar of Nafferton and later Nunburnholme.
As part of the exhibition, ‘Hidden: Cold War Women’, artist Lee Karen Stow will be giving a talk in the Treasure House in Champney Road on Saturday, 12 March at 1.30pm.
The talk will be a chance to hear about Lee’s photographic travels that have revealed the unheard stories of women survivors of war and conflict from around the world, as well as close to home. This event marks this year’s International Women’s Day.
The team at the Treasure House in Beverley are reminding visitors that the current exhibition of photographs by artist Lee Karen Stow called ‘Hidden: Cold War Women’ has less than three weeks to run.
The exhibition runs until Saturday, 19 March, and has proved very popular. Visitors have been enjoying finding out about this often-overlooked period of history and the stories of the East Yorkshire women who lived through it.
There are only a few weeks left to see the sculpture ‘Vera’ by Hannah Honeywill at Beverley Art Gallery before it is dismantled and removed.
