Exclusive to our members, our 'Showcoach' programme offers monthly group excursions to exhibitions, concerts and musicals, heritage sites, theatres and museums, plus once a year we organise short residential trips. Recent visits include Chichester Theatre , the Royal Albert Hall and Tate Britain, and our most recent residential trip took all Showcoachers to Northumberland for three nights.

Join us for our annual visit to Chichester Festival Theatre on Thursday, 23rd July to see a performance of MY FAIR LADY at 2.30
Lerner and Loewe’s glorious, evergreen musical is being performed at Chichester for the first time. Songs such as The Rain in Spain, I Could Have Danced All Night, Wouldn’t It Be Loverly and many more, along with sparkling dialogue, witty story and gorgeous costumes make for a perfect musical.
Cockney Eliza Doolittle earns a living selling flowers on the streets of London. Unless she can speak ‘proper English, ’ her dream of being a lady in a florist’s shop is out of reach. So when she encounters Henry Higgins, a Professor of Phonetics, she seizes the chance to transform her life!
Higgins blithely takes on a bet to turn this 'squashed cabbage leaf' into a high society paragon. His impulsive wager becomes a journey of discovery for both him and Eliza!
Cost: £81, which includes your ticket and coach fare
There will be time for lunch at the theatre or in the city before the performance.
Please sign up as soon as possible as we only have 29 seats
