Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

AN EASTER parade of entertainment is promised by a Bracknell-based arts centre, thanks to a mixture of theatre, music, dance and more.

South Hill Park will be welcoming audiences back in April with a variety of productions, promising there will never be a dull moment.

The Wilde Sundays event on Sunday, April 3 sees award-woinning acoustic harmon duo Dragonfly Sky perform. Joining them are Union Blue, an acoustic duo playing a wide range of music from Blues through Country to light Rock. Also on the bill is The Grand Old Uke of Dork, who brings a recipe of irreverent original songs, a side of covers and just a dash of stupidity.

Bracknell Jazz brings Trish Clowes – My Iris to South Hill Park on Friday, April 8. My Iris is an imaginative and thrilling band that represents the front rank of UK jazz bringing a unique platform for individual expression.

Everyone’s favourite ogre is back this Easter in South Hill Park’s hilarious stage spectacle, based on the Oscar-winning smash hit film and Broadway musical.

Bringing all the beloved characters you know from the film to life on stage, Shrek The Musical, running from Mon, April 11 through to Monday, April 18, proves there’s more to the story than meets the ears.
