The concert includes a dazzling showcase of the band's brilliant soloists, with Jamie Smith performing Carnival of Venice, Andy Holmes taking centre stage in Children of Sanchez, Mark Glover featuring in Chris Mallett’s Travelling Along, and Will Burton bringing virtuosity to Czárdás.

PAUSE, CONNECT & UNWIND |
Time to fall in love... with life |
The best investment you can make? Yourself. Your energy. Your wellbeing. Your relationships. When you take time to recharge and reconnect, alone or together, you show up better for everything else. That’s what falling in love with life really looks like. From moments of self-care to shared tables, indulgent escapes and meaningful moments, here’s how to make it part of yours. |
|
Treat the tribe |
Celebrate Galentine’s in style with The Little Treat day or stay just for you and your besties. Enjoy unlimited spa access, delicious dining and a rejuvenating treatment each at any one of our countryside resorts. |
Savour together |
Dining at Champneys is more than just a meal, it’s a moment to be shared. The clink of glasses, the comfort of beautifully prepared food and the simple joy of being together. It’s not just about what’s on the plate, but who’s around the table. |
Non-negotiable 20 |
One of the best self-care habits is scheduling a daily 'non-negotiable 20' - just twenty minutes for you. Use it to reset with something calming like a walk, reading or simply sitting quietly. The key isn’t what you do, but simply taking that time out for yourself. |
City sanctuary |
Make self care easy, slip away from the noise of the day and into the quiet hush of one of our city spas. Trade your to-do list for tranquil music, warm oils and hands that know exactly where you’ve been holding the weight of the week. |
|
Craft their calm |
A gift card let's them decide. From soul-soothing spa treatments, indulgent dining and tasty afternoon tea's to a complete spa escape, they choose how to pause, kick back and enjoy a moment made entirely for themselves. |
Wellbeing, your way |
Club Membership is more than fitness. It’s connection. Bond with others who share your lifestyle, nurture your mind, body and soul through wellness experiences and carry the calm and energy beyond the spa. |
|
Relaxation, wrapped |
Whether it’s a soothing spa day or peaceful overnight stay devoted entirely to tranquillity, our experience vouchers invite your loved one to step away from the everyday and into a haven of heaven. |
|
Looking for the perfect place to switch off and spend real time together? At Eastwell Manor, it’s all there - sweeping gardens, cosy corners to sink into and dining that turns an evening into an occasion. Take a closer look and you’ll see exactly why it’s become a favourite for couples in search of something special. |

MON 19 - SAT 24 OCT 2026 SYLVIAMIC DROP Brand new artwork and trailer just released. 2026 is here and it’s the year that SYLVIA returns to the stage after an Olivier award-winning premiere at London's Old Vic Theatre. We're excited to exclusively reveal our brand new artwork starring Beverley Knight and Sharon Rose plus a new teaser trailer featuring the iconic track March Women March. With an electrifying score by Josh Cohen and DJ Walde, renowned choreographer and storyteller Kate Prince (ZooNation - Message in a Bottle, Some Like it Hip Hop, Into the Hoods, The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party) will once again deliver her Olivier-nominated vision in a theatrical treat that audiences can’t get enough of. Sylvia Pankhurst - fearless, flawed, and unforgettable. The untold story of the rebellious middle child of Emmeline Pankhurst takes centre stage in this irresistible hip hop, funk and soul musical that moves your feet and fires your spirit. Whilst her mother and sister battled for women's suffrage, Sylvia ignited a revolution for the forgotten: working women, the impoverished, the silenced. Caught between her family and her beliefs, she risked it all to bring change to millions. Age Guidance 10+ |

With thanks to Hannah of Get Lost Yorkshire:HeyI know York hardly qualifies as a “hidden gem”… It’s easy to see the city as busy streets, queues outside Bettys, and crowds along the Shambles. But on a cold February morning - especially just before Valentine’s Day - it becomes something completely different. Early light on the city walls. York is at its most magical in the small moments you almost miss. One of my favourite things to do is arrive early and walk the streets before 9am. The Shambles, usually packed, becomes almost silent, and it feels like you’ve stepped into another century. Even the Minster feels calmer, and tucked-away places like Treasurer’s House or the riverside paths suddenly feel surprisingly peaceful. I’ve put together a guide to help you plan a romantic day (or weekend) that feels less like a tourist visit and more like discovering your own version of York. Inside the guide you’ll find:
👉 Read the full guide here: https://getlost.blog/romantic-things-to-do-in-york/ Whether you’re planning Valentine’s Day, a date day, or just an excuse for a winter wander, York is one of those places that always feels a little bit special. And if you do go… let me know what you discover. Sometimes the best memories are the unplanned ones. Until our next adventure, Yorkshire Events What's on in Yorkshire this weekend?Here's a glimpse of what's on in Yorkshire this weekend 👀 West Yorkshire: Yorkshire Games Festival 2026 takes over the National Science and Media Museum this half term with free gaming events.
