Outdoor Theatre: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

This Is My Theatre return to Sherwood Forest with their adaptation of Lewis Carol’s much-loved classic, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Step through the looking glass and into a world where nothing is quite as it seems… Join Alice as she tumbles down the rabbit hole and encounters a whirlwind of curious characters—the grinning Cheshire Cat, the frantic White Rabbit, the eccentric Mad Hatter, and the fearsome Queen of Hearts. This timeless tale of imagination, riddles, and wonder comes to life on stage in a dazzling production full of humour, music, and a touch of madness.

The Endless Game — charity world-record bowls marathon

From 6am on Saturday 1 August 2026, two players step onto the green at Newark Town Bowls Club and start a game that doesn’t stop. Jamie Croft and Matt Noble are attempting a Guinness World Records title — the longest marathon playing outdoor bowls (singles) — aiming for 36 hours of continuous play and beating the current record of 32 hours 34 minutes. They’re doing it for Menfulness, a men’s mental health charity, because going the distance — quietly carrying on when things are hard — is something a lot of men do alone. Come down, bring a chair, stay five minutes or five hours. It’s free, it’s in Newark, and you’ll be part of it. Can’t make it? You can still donate and help them keep going
