00:05 Hello and welcome to our latest guide to 5 things to do and the year is slipping away fast
00:10 so quick, do something about it before it's too late. Here's some suggestions.
00:14 You can go to the Loudham Pavilion in Lytham to see Buddy, Holly and the Cricketers
00:18 in a new festive show called Holly at Christmas, billed as a show that is as traditional as mulled wine and mince pies.
00:25 Holly's hits, other contemporary classics and some Christmas crackers are all wrapped up in a fast, furious
00:30 and funny feast of entertainment to make the perfect gift for all the family.
00:34 It's on the 5th December and tickets are priced from £23.
00:39 Now then, it's a bit chilly to be getting your kit off but that won't stop the cast of The Full Monty
00:43 at Blackpool's Opera House from the 5th to the 9th December.
00:46 Gaz and his mates are down on their luck and feel they've been thrown on the scrap heap
00:50 but they are determined to fight back and bear a little more than they ever thought they would have to.
00:55 Have a great night out in the company of a group of lads as they work to put on the show of their lives.
00:59 Tickets are from £20.75.
01:03 Comedy next as we head somewhere that doesn't often feature on this programme
01:07 and that's the Thornton Little Theatre near Cleveland on the coast.
01:10 Ed Byrne is one of the UK's favourite TV household names as he returns to the stage with a brand new show.
01:16 With his TV career now in its third decade, Ed has regularly appeared on the likes of QI, Mock the Week,
01:21 Alan Davis as Yet Untitled and Live at the Apollo.
01:24 Catch him on the 7th December for £27.50.
01:28 Back to the 70s now because Bay City roller legend Stuart Wood has brought together a powerful group of talented musicians
01:34 who embody the same essence as the original band that the world knew and loved.
01:39 Journey back in time to those carefree days of the 70s when Scotland's original boy band ruled the charts
01:44 selling over 300 million albums worldwide, the Bay City Rollers attracted fans of all ages
01:49 and a phenomenon known as 'roller mania' swept across the globe.
01:53 See them at the King George's Hall at Blackburn on Friday 8th December for £24.
01:59 Lastly we head to Preston for a brand new venture for 2023.
02:03 Chews Yard is a Christmas pop-up food and drink venue on Market Street West
02:08 and will bring a festive 12 days of food, drink and entertainment for three long weekends in the run-up to Christmas Eve.
02:14 Enjoy food stalls, bars, live bands, DJs, Father Christmas, storytelling, makers markets, arts crafts, vintage stalls and much, much more.
02:24 There's free entry from Thursday 7th December onwards.
02:28 That should keep you all busy, you just need to squeeze some actual shopping in between somewhere.
02:33 Good luck with that, join me next week for another 5 things to do but until then take care and I'll see you next time.
