Who’ll takes the biscuit away?
Will it be digested O.K?
Garibaldi? Rich tea?
All the answers will be
At the Samuel Worth Chapel in May.

As part of our 190th birthday celebrations, join the wonderfully eccentric John Hegley for a gloriously silly, warmly witty evening of stories, music, poetry and drawings. A master of the gently absurd and the strangely profound, Hegley blends autobiographical tales (some true, some nearly true, some possibly biscuit-related) with his trademark slides, sketches and lyrical charm.

“This show proves he’s as good as ever.” | Entertainment Now

N.B. this touring show is an hour and a half long is only partly biscuit-based. Devised for adults but not unsuitable for the odd fourteen year old, it should also be noted that the biscuits which do appear, are facsimiles and no attempt should be made to ‘try’ them.

Throughout the 190th birthday weekend, the Samuel Worth Chapel will also host a café, bookstall and People Power exhibition, open 10.00am-4.00pm each day, so you can explore our history, discover our stories and learn more about our future plans.
