Hi there!

February's is coming and Surrey's got a great mix of events to kick off the new month.

Theatre fans can catch the Guildford Shakespeare Company's five-star production of David Copperfield running all month at Holy Trinity Church, plus Blood Brothers at the Yvonne Arnaud, Samuel Beckett's Krapp's Last Tape directed by Stockard Channing, and the bold comedy In The Lady Garden celebrating older women's stories.

Music-wise, there's the Alter Eagles tribute celebrating 23 years of performing, and Sweet & Sour bringing the ultimate Olivia Rodrigo vs. Sabrina Carpenter showdown with a live band and dancers. The monthly Guildford Farmers' Market is back on the 3rd, the Maltings Market is on the 7th, and it's Snowdrop Day at Gatton Park on the 8th with spectacular displays and cake.

Plus there's a live psychopath test at Murder: Staged, the Concorde Champagne Experience at Brooklands Museum, and Playtime! at Guildford Museum for the kids with vintage toys and hands-on games.

Whether you're after theatre, live music, markets or something different, it's a good week to get out and about.

Have a great week, Charli x
