Join Britain’s most decorated Olympian Sir Bradley Wiggins as he tours theatres throughout the UK with his insightful and at times hilarious live show. ‘Bradley Wiggins: An Evening With’ provides a rare opportunity for fans to see the five-time Olympic Gold medallist and Tour De France winner share exclusive tales, prized memorabilia and career highlights in a unique and intimate live setting. The shows will be moderated by ITV cycling presenter and friend of Bradley’s, Matt Barbet, who will also be putting your questions to Wiggo on the night. A British household name and undeniable national treasure, Bradley Wiggins holds the iconic track hour record and is the only cyclist who has won World and Olympic championships on both the track and the road along with winning the Tour De France.
His easy charm in front of the press is legendary and he won the 2012 BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award (voted for by the public), helping cycling smash its way into the mainstream. 2013 brought further success, including the Tour of Britain title, and in 2014 Wiggins added the rainbow jersey to his collection by winning the World Time Trial Championships.
The Summer of 2016 saw Wiggins win his 5th gold medal at the Rio Olympics in the team pursuit and his eighth Olympic medal overall, making him Britain’s most decorated Olympian ever and rounding off one of the most impressive sporting careers the nation has ever witnessed.
Announcing his retirement from professional cycling at the end of 2016, Wiggins said, “2016 is the end of the road for this chapter, onwards and upwards, ‘feet on the ground, head in the clouds’ kids from Kilburn don’t win Olympic Golds and Tour de Frances! They do now.”
Wiggins’ latest release ‘Icons’ takes readers on an extraordinarily intimate journey through the sporting world, presenting key pieces from his never-before-seen collection of memorabilia. Bradley will reflect on the icons, races and moments that have fundamentally influenced him on both professional and personal levels. (Released 1st November and available at each live show on the tour)

This evening she will lead a masterclass with her new fun and practical book. Infuse your baking with a sprinkle of glitter, a rainbow of colours and a menagerie of woodland creatures with the help of this unique baking book.

Fantasy football is where you select players from all the teams in the English Premier League and they accumulate points based on how they play. The winner is the one who attains the most points at the end…in case you didn’t know! Here are some further game related rules and information:
Substitutes – these are players that will automatically replace players in your starting 11, provided players in your starting 11 don’t play.
Captain – this player gets double points
Vice captain – this player gets double points if your captain does not play
Transfers – you get 1 free transfer per week, which allows you to swap a player in your current team for a new one, if you want additional transfers these cost you 4 points per transfer. You can save your transfers and use them in the following gameweek if you want (so you can make 2 changes)
Wildcard – this can be used only once and allows you to change your whole team permanently
Free hit – this can be used only once and allows you to change your whole team for one gameweek
Triple captain – this can be used only once and means your captain gets triple points
Bench boost – this can be used only once and means all your players score points (including substitutes)
Your team will be automatically selected for the following week, however there is usually a deadline if you want to make changes – substitutes or transfers
You can select a maximum of 3 players from each team
Please feel free to ask if you want some guidance 😊. Finally, I rarely give out team selection advice, but this year I’ll chuck you all this nugget for free – avoid Jordan Pickford at all costs.

Carefully crafted into one of the most unique and inclusive small-scale gatherings in the UK, Farmfest is a bubbling blend of unfettered festival frolics and humming party vigour. Where music and people set the tempo and the curious venture.
Set to a sumptuous Somerset backdrop, our pocket-sized field packs in seven music stages to build a swirling musical orchestra with performances from some of the finest emerging and established left-of-mainstream artists, operating within the realms of electronic, indie, folk and world, but where genre meets no border.
From early morning workouts to little ones’ workshops, brilliantly blended beats to riotous jumbles of jazz and brass-based bonanzas, comedy and poetry – or just a touch of the people’s spirited madness – come find your groove. For in this field of fervour, freedom surrounds us.
And as the temperature falls, ours keeps on rising. With an atmosphere that’s slowly but surely been stirring, you’ll find the people and party, positive and purring.
This is for the time out we all seek, set at a price that’s to help and not hinder. Still consciously capped at 5,000, we’re a festival that doesn’t believe in hype or inflated prices. What we do believe in is putting on awesome party with good music, good causes and good times, for everyone.
It’s been a year to celebrate at The Architecture Centre, with the organisation striding forward under new leadership. Nick Childs invites friends & supporters to share some of the highlights, including the launch of Design West, some brilliant partnerships and visionary programme.
All guests will be given a complimentary drink on arrival.
There will be a short informal presentation of highlights from the last year at The Architecture Centre at 6.30pm.

The irrepressible Bristol-born Johnny Ball has been a passionate advocate of mathematics for over 40 years, opening up the subject for a popular audience with wit and wisdom.
In this event, he tells the story of mathematics, unravelling the tale of how humanity built up a knowledge and understanding of shapes, numbers and patterns from ancient times. He starts in Bristol where, aged around 8, he was shown how the Russians do multiplication using a halving and doubling system, which is really a version of Binary Maths, which enables all our modern electronic technology to function. He then moves through maths history showing how those who came up with new ideas did it to simplify maths and not make it more complex or confusing. He also explains how his approach to maths would improve the modern Maths curriculum and make it both more exciting and more empowering for young people. He ends with the story of Isaac Newton’s discovery and explanation of gravity, which he maintains had nothing what so ever to do with apples.
This event is suitable for adults and ages 9+

I’ve discovered that going for a daily walk has become as essential to me feeling good for the rest of the day as that first cup of tea. But I would argue that all I am doing is responding to a natural need we all have. Humans have always been migrants, the physiological urge to be nomadic is deep-rooted in all of us and perhaps because of that our brains are stimulated by walking. I solve all sorts of problems, formulate ideas, work things out to that gentle rhythm of self-propelled movement.’- Kate Humble

We have arranged for a Pub Quiz around Bath followed by an early dinner.
For the pub quiz we will need teams of 4 which I will arrange and distribute; and for the early dinner we need to pre-order. More details below on both.
The plan is to meet outside The Crystal Palace on Abbey Green at 2.30pm where we will be given:
· An introduction to the tour & the ideas behind it.
· A miniature pub chalk board & chalk (one per team).
Each team will come up with a Pub Quiz Team Name, which will eventually be entered into The Bath Pub Tour Hall of Fame.
The questions are multiple-choice /educated-guess questions about pub culture & Bath history with a few bizarre trivia facts thrown in.
The route:
We leave The Crystal Palace and walk up through town for about 45 minutes. It doesn't feel like going for 'a walk' though. It is very gentle & familiar. It's probably about 15 minutes walking & the rest standing outside 'lost & forgotten pubs' & trying to imagine what they were like. We'll stop 3 x 10 minutes with 5 minutes between each stop.
Then we'll go to an actual pub & have a drink & some snacks! At this point we will have a beer expert speak briefly about local brewers & about the particular ale we are tasting. This is an opportunity to sit down for 15-20 minutes.
From this pit-stop, we'll do another 15 minutes walking + 30 minutes standing & answering questions before we get to The Bell on Walcot Street where the winners will be announced! and the tour ends.
Food:
Once finished we will move to Bistrot Pierre (at Princess Buildings, 4 George Street) for an early evening 2 course dinner approximately 5.30/6pm.
Please see the menu - circulated by email - as we need to pre-order.
There are no restrictions on the menu and you can pick either starter/main or main/dessert.
Please can you let me have your choices ASAP.
Any questions - please let me know - thanks!

The Bath Fringe Festival has launched its exciting 2019 programme, with more than 120 events and 90 contributors spread across 24 venues in the city during the 17 day festival.
The festival will run from Friday 24th May until Sunday 9th June with the ever-popular Bedlam Weekend, a celebration of street theatre, circus and dance, taking over the streets of Bath on Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd June.
This year sees collaborations between the Bath Fringe Festival, The Bath Festival and Komedia Bath as well as a whole host of partnerships with local venues including the Mission Theatre, the Rondo Theatre, Chapel Arts Centre and the Old Theatre Royal.
2019 will see the Bath Fringe celebrating the spirit of the 1969 festival Comtek, which started off a string of events that is believed to have led to the festival of today, with some events and artists from back in the day, and some others inspired by the art styles of the 60s and 70s.
There is a particular emphasis on theatre this year, with two full-time Fringe theatre venues throughout the festival; the Rondo Theatre in Larkhall and The Mission Theatre in the city centre, plus a selection of other shows fitting in odd corners, some interesting experiments, and some very new work.
The Fringe music programme will break new ground with more venues and a programme of great regular nights showing the best of what they do all year round, plus a few special-for-the-fringe bonuses – including a collaboration with Bath Festival and Komedia Bath in contemporary electronica.
The fringe’s Outdoor Arts events have once again been supported by Arts Council England.
These include a special made-in-Bath piece to commemorate the historic festivals (9th June), and the New Work Works artist support and mentoring programme will work in more depth with at least a dozen groups, including some at a more advanced level, so on Bedlam Fair weekend (1st and 2nd June) there will be new work from more established artists as well as newcomers.
Streets, open spaces and venues across Bath will come alive to the sound of music, as part of the launch event for this year’s 10-day Bath Festival, Party in the City.
Party in the City includes every kind of music, from classical and jazz, from pop and punk to folk and choral, and with 36 venues opening their doors, all tastes are catered for.
Partygoers will find festival outdoor stages at Queen Square and Parade Gardens, along with stalls selling fresh cooked street food.
SouthGate Bath is once again hosting its own al fresco party, with food, drink and two stages offering live acts throughout the evening.
Highlights of this year’s event include a unique piece of street performance inspired by football, a 40-piece orchestra playing film/TV themes in Queen Square and country music at Parade Gardens.
Indoor venues, including Komedia, St Swithin’s Church and Widcombe Social Club, will all be offering free live music.
Residents are being encouraged to wander the city and discover choirs in the Central United Reformed Church in Argyle Street, punk-pop at The Pig and Fiddle in Broad Street and orchestras at the Assembly Rooms.
A colourful Party in the City programme, which has a map and a full list of venues, with times for artists playing, will be available before and during the evening of Friday 17th May.
This year, for the first time, The Bath Festival is asking partygoers to donate £1 for a programme.
The donation will help pay the costs of putting on Party in the City, to keep it as a free event and reflecting the fact that The Bath Festival has no local government funding and is a charity.

In our busy lives we often forget how essential it is to take a few moments of stillness each day to tune into how we feel and what’s important to us.
In this workshop, through the practice of postures, sequences, breath work, relaxation, meditation and mudras we will re-discover the ‘still point’ within us and from that place gain a clear perspective on our life.
• We will work with a subtle flowing sequence - using movement, breath, visualisation and affirmation to take you to a place of inner stillness and clarity
• We will explore how stronger more dynamic yoga, gives us the energy, vitality and dynamism to live an empowered life
• You will experience how relaxation, meditation and mudras can help us on this journey to deepen our experience of stillness and access our inner power.
Cost: £35
Venue: New Oriel Hall, Brookleaze Buildings, Larkhall, Bath, BA1 6RA
“We describe it as an award for architectural drawing, but how you achieve that image is up to you. And once again we have separate categories for students and practitioners”
Last year’s overall winner was Tszwai So of Spheron Architects "The Girl in Red"
“It’s Eye Line time! The original annual award for architectural image-making skills – let’s call it ‘drawing’, though we welcome all media and combinations of media – is now open for 2019 entries. As ever, it’s purely the power of the image that we’re interested in. How well do you communicate an idea or record an existing building or place?
This is the seventh year of Eye Line, and my, how it’s grown. Once again we invite entries in two categories: practitioners and students. We will exhibit winners and commendations at the RIBA as well as publishing them in print and online. And our colleagues at the RIBA’s world famous Drawings and Archives Collections (DAC), based in the Victoria & Albert Museum, will scrutinise the winners for potential inclusion in the collections.
We make no distinction between ‘hand drawing’ and computer rendering skills. Both are of equal value and anyway, so many architectural depictions layer several techniques to produce the final image. All are welcome.
We DO distinguish between practitioners and students however, as the conditions under which you work are very different.
Student category: images made by those in architectural education or who are submitting images made before fully qualified.
Practitioner category: images made by those fully qualified and working in practice, either for real-life projects or to explore ideas and experiences.
Now it’s YOUR turn. This is an international competition. Practitioners and students – get image-making, and enter!
Winning and commended entries will be published in the August issue of RIBAJ as well as exhibited at the RIBA.”
Read the rules and enter here - good luck!

The shape of our cities is changing - how do we address the challenges of existing 19th & 20th century infrastructure and the contested spaces that have emerged in the absence of intervention?
Find out how the 19th century railway infrastructure of Kings Cross has been transformed and what effect that has had on the surrounding neighbourhoods. Discover the emerging plans for the Bearpit tackling the legacy of 20th century highways.
How can these projects improve the cityscape for citizens in an inclusive way?

Tempting………….well, we thought we would introduce ‘Easter Egg Rolling’!
On Wednesday 17th April at 1pm we will transform the kitchen into a creative corner where you will have 10 minutes to decorate your egg (we will provide hard boiled eggs) before going out into Queen Square to start the race (approx 1.15pm).
There will be prizes for the best egg and the overall winner!
Facts: Egg rolling, or an Easter egg roll is a traditional game played with eggs at Easter. Different nations have different versions of the game, usually played with hard-boiled, decorated eggs. In the UK the tradition of rolling decorated eggs down grassy hills goes back hundreds of years and is known as "pace-egging". The eggs traditionally were wrapped in onion skins and boiled to give them a mottled gold appearance (although today they usually are painted) and the children competed to see who could roll their egg the farthest.
We hope you will be able to join us!

Discover how a meeting of minds between a visionary client and exemplary architects led to the UK's best new building.
In 2018 Bloomberg’s European headquarters was named the UK’s best new building, winning the RIBA Stirling Prize.
Built in the heart of the city of London overlooking St Pauls, the elegant pair of 10-storey stone clad buildings occupy a site originally earmarked for a 22-storey glass tower. Opening up an ancient Roman route and creating new public spaces the buildings aim to be good neighbours to the surounding city.
Behind the elegant facades lie a wealth of technology providing exemplary spaces to work, meet and stroll through whilst minimising water and energy use.
Join Architect Michael Jones from Foster + Partners to find out more about this extraordinary building.
