Calendar Girls - Teylu Theatre Company

Calendar Girls
A play presented by Teylu Theatre Company.ABOUT THE SHOW
Based on a true story and adapted from the hit film, Calendar Girls follows a group of Yorkshire Womens Institute members who, after the death of a friends husband from leukemia, decide to raise money for charity in an unconventional way: by producing a nude calendar. With only strategically placed props to preserve their modesty, the women challenge expectations, spark a media frenzy, and discover unexpected strength in themselves and each other. Its laugh-out-loud funny, yet deeply moving, offering audiences a feel-good experience that leaves them uplifted and inspired.PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

Originally a pig farm, Sterts is a four acre site where nature and creativity collide and is home to the Barn Theatre (400 seats), multi-purpose Sturrock Studio (50-70 seats) and Community Hub. Following a period of major redevelopment in 2024, the original amphitheatre is now covered by a solar powered barn, which is run solely off renewable energy.The Barn Theatre has retained the original amphitheatre bench seating, so we recommend bringing a cushion to sit on.The Barn Theatre is wind and rain proof but is not a heated space. Therefore, we encourage you to dress for the weather and embrace the elements. Wrap up warm and bring a blanket especially in the spring and autumn.FOOD AND DRINK
Our on site bar stocks drinks from The Cornish Wine Company, snacks from Redmoor Snacks and Ice Cream from Treleavens Luxury Cornish Ice Cream. Our bar opens one hour before Barn Theatre performances. Sterts does not have an onsite cafe, so we recommend visiting one of our local pubs, restaurants or farm shops for pre-show food.
