Jane Eyre
2026-03-14 19:00 - 20:30 | St Andrew’s Church, St Mary’s Street, Chippenham, SN15 3JN, United Kingdom
“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being with an independent will.”
Orphaned and alone, Jane Eyre grows up in a world that seeks to silence her spirit. Defiant in
her search for freedom, belonging, and love, she finds herself at Thornfield Hall – where the
enigmatic Mr. Rochester hides dark secrets behind its walls.
Passion, mystery, and resilience collide in this sweeping story of self-discovery and courage,
brought to life in a bold new adaptation – with traditional folk music woven throughout – of
Charlotte Brontë’s timeless classic!
This is My Theatre cannot wait to kick start 2026 with their heart-warming and magical adaptation of Charlotte Bronte’s beloved novel and they are so excited to be bringing it St Andrew’s Church on 14 March. So, don’t wait – get your tickets now and join us for a very special evening for all ages.

Lady Chatterley’s Cover: The Book Designs of Stephen Russ
2026-03-16 10:00 - 16:00, 2026-03-17 10:00 - 16:00, 2026-03-18 10:00 - 16:00, 2026-03-19 10:00 - 16:00, 2026-03-20 10:00 - 16:00 | Chippenham Museum, 9-10 Market Pl, Chippenham, SN15 3HF, United Kingdom
The post-war book designs of artist and teacher, Stephen Russ, are coming to life at Chippenham Museum.
From the forties to the seventies, Russ produced dozens of dust jackets, from striking first editions of Graham Greene at Bodley Head to a wide range of titles at Collins, including nature books and the famous Collins Crime Club.
He is perhaps best known for his work with Penguin, designing covers for the main orange series, the lesser-known music scores, and the highly collectible Penguin Poets series. His phoenix motif for DH Lawrence’s Lady Chatterley’s Lover became famous during the 1960 obscenity trial and featured in the marketing that helped make the book a bestseller.
The exhibition also celebrates Russ’s thirty-year career as a tutor at the renowned Bath Academy of Art in Corsham, brought together with the generous support of the Russ family and loans from the Penguin Archive and the University of Bristol.

Chippenham Youth Theatre presents…
Join Dorothy and her loyal companion Toto as they “Follow the Yellow Brick Road” through the Land of Oz, determined to reach the Emerald City, where the great and powerful Wizard of Oz will help them get home. Of course, along the way, Dorothy encounters witches (both good and bad), Munchkins, talking trees and winged monkeys. But most importantly, she befriends three unique characters: a Scarecrow with no brain, a Tin Man with no heart, and a Lion with no “nerve.” Their journey to happiness – and self-awareness – is a glowing testament to friendship, understanding and hope in a world filled with both beauty and ugliness.
Tickets: Standard £15 | Concession £12 (under 16s / over 70s / disabled)
Age Restrictions: None
Please contact the venue for any access requirements.
Tickets are also available through our Box Office on 01249 446699, from the Neeld Box Office or at the Town Hall.
