Brooklands Museum marks the 80th anniversary of the Dambuster’s Raid

Brooklands Museum marks the 80th anniversary of the Dambuster’s Raid with a new exhibition recognising inventor and engineer Sir Barnes Wallis

Tuesday, 16th, and Wednesday, 17th May 2023, mark the 80th anniversary of the Dambuster’s Raid on the primary targets in the Ruhr Valley, Germany. Brooklands Museum, Weybridge is commemorating the milestone with the opening of a brand-new permanent exhibition, Inventing the Future: The Innovations of Sir Barnes Wallis, which explores the broader story of Sir Barnes Wallis and his inventions, including geodetic aircraft and the revolutionary Stratosphere Chamber.
Barnes Wallis is famous for his involvement in Operation Chastise and inventing the ‘bouncing bomb,’ but his achievements were so much more remarkable than this. In a career that lasted over 60 years, Barnes contributed significantly to the development of British aviation, from airships to aerospace, predominantly from his base at Brooklands, Weybridge. The exhibition delves into the world of engineering, looks at what it takes to be an innovator, and focuses on the most important people in Barnes’ life.
Barnes Wallis began his career at Brooklands with Vickers in 1913 as an aircraft designer, developing a geodetic airframe structure adopted by the Vickers Wellington. With the outbreak of World War II, Barnes saw a need for strategic bombing. He developed the concept of making a ‘bouncing bomb’ to collapse three of Germany’s major dams, which would cause significant damage to their infrastructure. Barnes tested his concept using golf balls and a catapult on nearby Silvermere Lake.
Following the end of World War II, Wallis was encouraged to apply for an Inventors’ Award for his victory, with the bouncing bomb. He refused, as he saw the prize fund as blood money. However, he was finally persuaded and used the money to set up a scholarship at Christ’s Hospital, the school he attended, for children of RAF personnel who were orphaned during the war. He then turned his attention to finding more ways to give back to the world, starting with the creation of the Stratosphere Chamber.
Beatrice Meecham, Interpretation and Programmes Officer at Brooklands Museum, said: “Although we are launching the exhibition to coincide with the 80th anniversary of the Dambuster’s Raid, the interpretation concentrates on Barnes’ incredible innovations and how he built the Stratosphere Chamber. There’s also a real focus on the people who surrounded Barnes and supported him.
The new exhibition will help young engineers to understand the process of being an engineer, how a small idea can turn into something enormous – and that’s the power of what an engineer can do. Barnes Wallis had different challenges in the 1940s, but he solved problems with the technology available to him at the time. Through the exhibition, we explore how people can solve the problems of our time using inventiveness and the technology today.”
The new permanent exhibition, Inventing the Future: The Innovations of Sir Barnes Wallis, opens to the public on Wednesday 17th May, at Brooklands Museum, Weybridge. For more information about the exhibition and visiting the Museum, visit brooklandsmuseum.com

New Open-Air Theatre To Open in Epsom

Just a stone’s throw from London and set amidst rolling lavender fields, the Lavender Open-Air Theatre will open for its inaugural summer season this July in Epsom.The 250-seat open air theatre will be home for an annual season of plays and musicals with a truly elegant backdrop.

Based at Mayfield Lavender ,139 Reigate Road, Epsom, KT17 3DW, in Surrey, the theatre has been co-founded by director Joe McNeice (producer/director of ‘DIVA: Live From Hell!’), Mayfield owner Brendan Maye and Jonathan Muir. The inaugural season will open with Irving Berlin’s classic musical ‘Annie Get Your Gun’ from July 17, with music and lyrics by Irving Berlin, original book by Herbert and Dorothy Fields as revised by Peter Stone, with new direction and choreography by Simon Hardwick (‘My Fair Lady’).

The launch of the theatre will see the completion of a significant investment into the Epsom site, which already boasts a coffee bar, shop, and a full service glasshouse restaurant due to open alongside the theatre this summer.
“This will be more than just a visit to a theatre,” commented Joe McNeice, “Audiences will be able to grab a picnic to enjoy among the blossoming rows of lavender as the sun begins to set, before taking their seats in our covered auditorium to watch a show under the stars.”

Since opening in 2006, the Mayfield Lavender Farm in Banstead has grown into a major summer destination for tourists and locals in South London, and this year the team are opening the gates to a theatre at their sister location in Epsom.
Lavender Theatre Artistic Director Joe McNeice worked behind the scenes at London’s immersive ‘Great Gatsby’, and was Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre’s Visitor Services Manager until 2022, after graduating from the University of York in 2018.

“The whole place looks incredible, just walking about the site is a real treat for all the senses,” McNeice added, “so our shows have to compliment their surroundings and match the sophistication that the natural landscape has set for us.”

Speaking of his plans for ‘Annie Get Your Gun’, Simon Hardwick said: “The show will be a rip-roaring staging of the well known Broadway musical in a very raw and kinetic production that evokes the energy of Buffalo Bill’s original touring celebrations of the Wild West. The Lavender Theatre will be a dream destination; an environment in which to enjoy a West End-standard production under a hazy summer sky.”

The theatre, privately funded and managed by Lavender Productions Ltd., will produce its own shows with plans to see the summer season expand year on year with diverse and engaging programming.
McNeice said: “With no public funding or grants to help us achieve this mammoth project, we are relying solely on our Box Office income to build the Lavender Theatre into a profitable business, but we believe that creating a new producing theatre, a proper landmark location for the arts in Surrey, is something worth the investment, for both the local community and the wider industry.

“I’m really passionate about developing new shows, particularly musicals. The location is perfect because it’s actually very close to London, but far enough away to have its own identity, which will give us the opportunity to develop work without the vast expense and pressure that comes with opening new shows in the capital. It’s an incredibly exciting opportunity. There’s a lot to be said for Zone 6!”

Tickets for the inaugural season are on sale today at lavendertheatre.com.
Casting for ‘Annie Get Your Gun’ and news of other events in the inaugural Lavender Theatre season will be announced soon.

Harlequins set to host the world’s biggest club rugby event

Harlequins are hosting the UK’s biggest club rugby event on March 4 as the Club’s Men and Women’s teams take on Exeter Chiefs

Harlequins have announced that Big Game 14 is back! This year is set to be bigger than ever with both Harlequins Men and Women playing a massive double header against Exeter Chiefs.

This will be the first time ever that the Club will hold a double header of this type at the Big Game and with both teams renowned for their physical, attacking style of play, it promises to be a mouth-watering day of rugby and spectacular entertainment for all the family.

Harlequins can also confirm that headline music act Faithless will perform a DJ set starring Sister Bliss at the home of English rugby. Faithless, the creators of the iconic international hit ‘Insomnia’ will headline the event with a performance from star DJ Sister Bliss between the Women’s Allianz Premier 15s match and the Men’s Gallagher Premiership matches at Twickenham Stadium.

Founded in 1994, Faithless are best known for their huge international hits Insomnia, God is a DJ, We Come 1, Take the Long Way Home and Salva Mea. They have released seven studio albums, selling over 15 million records worldwide. Faithless’ debut album Reverence has now been certified gold in 22 countries, and they have multiple awards including a European Grammy for Best International Dance Band and UK’s Muzik magazine’s award for the Best Live Act. Faithless are in short icons of the dance music scene for three decades.

Harlequins women's Head Coach Amy Turner Commenting on Harlequins Women’s top of the table clash with Exeter at the event, Head Coach Amy Turner said: “It’s great to confirm the new date for our double header against Exeter. Big Game is synonymous with the Harlequins name and I know the team are excited for the Women’s third consecutive year in such a huge moment for the Club.

“We couldn’t ask for better opposition for this double header. We are a team that values the Harlequins Way of playing and bringing a brand of rugby that both represent our DNA and entertains our supporters. Exeter are playoff contenders and will offer us a stern test in what will be a pivitol clash in the build up to the Premier 15s playoffs, which will help make this Big Game a spectacle for all to enjoy.”

Harlequins Men’s winger Josh Bassett said: “Big Game has always been one of those events in the Gallagher Premiership that you want to be involved in, including as an opposition player when I was at Wasps.

“Playing in front of 80,000 fans for your club at the home of English rugby is something that usually only happens if you reach a Premiership final. To be able to take that and add all the amazing party vibes and an incredible atmosphere around the ground is special and I am very excited to play in my first Big Game in March.

“As a family man myself, I am a little jealous that I won’t be able take my little family around the fairground for free before enjoying a great bit of rugby at the home of English rugby. But I’m excited to step onto the pitch and soak up the atmosphere on the day and fight for the win.

“Most importantly Exeter Chiefs are tough opposition, but the games between Quins and the Chiefs over the last few years have all been hugely entertaining, high-scoring affairs. From the 20/21 final, last year’s end-of-season fanfare of a game and a nail-biting finish earlier this season have all been incredible examples of entertaining rugby to keep you on the edge of your seat.

“Add into the mix a music act as big as Faithless and a double header with Harlequins Women in a top of the table Allianz Premier 15s clash, and it’s a recipe for an event day you wouldn’t want to miss as a rugby fan.”

General sale tickets are available to buy today, priced from just £35 for Adults and £25 for Under 18’s. You can buy them here!

Tenors Unlimited came together 20 years ago to bring their own special combination of popular opera, musical theatre, iconic classical and original songs to the world and redefine the perception of a ‘tenor’ in the 21st century.

Brooklands Museum has officially launched its 2023 events programme, which is packed full of key favourites and some brand-new events.

Back for 2023 on its rightful day, New Year’s Classic Gathering kicks off the year with a huge-display of vehicles from every era and following its success this year, Easter Classic Gathering has earned itself a spot in the calendar before the other staple, the Members’ Summer Classic and Autojumble make its return at the end of July.

Celebrating the variety of designs and styles from countries across the world, Brooklands Museum will be hosting event days for vehicles from specific nations, including the all-new French Day on 13th August, which will showcase classic marques from across the Channel. Perennial favourites, Italian Car Day on 29th April and American Day on 3rd September will return alongside a bigger and better German Day to be held on 1st October, that will embrace elements of Oktoberfest. The previously known British Marques Day is now Best of British on 7th May, suitably being held on the weekend of the Coronation of King Charles III. Celebrating all things British, even Paddington Bear will be making a special guest appearance. Each event will be complimented with tasty food and drink from the country of origin.

Brooklands’ Double 12 weekend will see the Mercedes Benz World track packed with action on Saturday 17th June, and a nostalgic trip back to the hey-day of Brooklands, with Brooklands Relived on Sunday 18th June. Featuring race starts on the Finishing Straight and Test Hill ascents, alongside vintage themed music, costume and food, combining to revive the spirit of Brooklands’ past and deliver a corker of weekend.

Introducing a new event for all generations to enjoy, Working Vehicle Day on 8th July will appeal to the kid in us all, as the site will be filled with working machines such as tractors, mobile cranes, airfield vehicles and more. Some of the less frequently seen parts of Brooklands Museum’s collection will be on display as well as lots of visiting vehicles. The much-loved Emergency Services Day on 17th September is back once again, giving everyone a chance to thank the everyday heroes of our country, with PAW Patrol’s Skye, Chase and Marshall coming back to say hello.

And lastly, all the usual favourites including Mini Day on 26th March, Motorcycle Day on 2nd July and Autumn Motorsport Day 8th October are in the diary alongside London Bus Museum’s three popular events – Spring Gathering, 16th April, On The Buses, 25th June and Transportfest, 22nd October.

As ever, school holidays will be packed with fun activities for families to enjoy with costumed actors back in action, recounting the stories of Brooklands’ legendary pioneers.

Brooklands Museum is the largest museum in Surrey, occupying 32 acres on the site of the world’s first motor racing circuit, which opened in Weybridge, Surrey in 1907. It showcases the achievements of the pioneering men and women in motorsport and aviation since its creation. The famous Race Track and the huge aviation manufacturing factories made it a household name for much of the twentieth century.
Since opening as a public Museum in 1991 it has continued to grow its collection of aircraft, racing bikes and cars as well as opening the award-winning Brooklands Aircraft Factory and the only Concorde with public access in South East England. With displays in original buildings, motoring and aviation events and an extensive learning programme for schools and colleges, the past is brought to life again for over 185,000 visitors a year.

Latest From Chris Grayling MP

Dear constituent

I am writing with a reminder about a couple of local things.

A few people have asked me why I do not address national issues in these emails except where there is useful information to provide. I know that many people want to discuss those issues with me, and I am always willing to do so if they contact me directly. But these emails are designed to be informative about local matters, and go to everyone who wants them, regardless of political persuasion, and I do not want to change their local focus even at times when there are significant events at a national level.

Charities Fair

Firstly, a reminder that the Charity Volunteer Fair, which was postponed because of the sad death of Her Majesty the Queen, is being held between 4pm and 6.30pm this Friday, 21st October at the Dell Centre, St Giles Church, Park Lane, Ashtead, KT21 1EJ.

More than 20 charities will be there, and there will be a wide range of volunteering opportunities. So please do come along. If you can’t make it but are interested in volunteering, please let me know and I will steer you towards the right opportunities.

Epsom Methodist Church – Warm Wednesdays

Epsom Methodist Church is launching a programme of Warm Wednesdays for the winter if people are struggling with their bills and need a place to go and warm up and get some company. The events will be held every Wednesday from November 2nd until the end of February.
