WELCOME Welcome to the Floral Pavilion Theatre and Conference Centre’s Winter-Spring brochure, the last brochure in our 10th Anniversary Year and what a fantastic year it’s been. January saw the final week of our pantomime, Peter Pan, which broke all sales records for the Floral Pavilion. In March the Floral hosted the world-premiere production of Awful Auntie by David Walliams, followed by the Tony Award winning show Monty Python’s Spamalot. We’ve continued with this run of superb West End show including Evita, Cilla The Musical and the ever popular, Blood Brothers. To end this year we have the magic carpet ride of Aladdin with tickets flying out of the venue! Alongside these fantastic touring productions we have continued to work closely with local arts and dance organisation old and new, including the West Kirby Light Opera Society, The Chrysanths Pantomime Society and many local dance schools. We look forward to welcoming them back to the Floral for the next 10 years.
To celebrate the actual day that the Floral reopened in 2008, we have a very special concert taking place on Thursday 13th December, 10 Years of Music and Laughter compered by one of the UK’s best-loved actors, Ricky Tomlinson and starring a host of local comedy and music stars. For a more formal celebration you can join us in the Blue Lounge for Dinner of the Decade, a black tie event with music, dancing and a delicious three-course dinner. You still have time to be a part of the Floral Pavilion 10th Anniversary by naming a seat in the theatre with a bespoke plaque. The Name a Seat promotion is a perfect way to celebrate a special occasion, remember a loved one or give as a gift to a family member or friend. Thank you for all your support over the last 10 years and we look forward to welcoming you to the Floral Pavilion for the next stage of our story. Kind Regards,
David Mackenzie Commercial Manager

This globetrotting show is truly legendary, selling out in places like Edinburgh Fringe, Raffles Singapore and Sydney Opera House. It returns to the Floral Pavilion in 2019, but be warned, it’ll sell out here too so early booking is essential! When the audience become diners in the ‘Faulty Towers’ restaurant and are served by Basil, Sybil and Manuel pretty much anything can happen -
especially with two-thirds of the show improvised. The fun starts as guests wait to be seated, then hurtles along in a tour de force of gags, shambolic service and a 70s-style 3-course meal. Expect the unexpected in this ‘two-hour eat, drink and laugh sensation!’ (DAILY TELEGRAPH). Born in 1997, Faulty Towers The Dining Experience is a fully immersive, highly
improvised and site-specific piece of comedy theatre that continues to be acclaimed around the world by audiences and critics alike. It opened a residency in London’s West End in 2012 and holds TripAdvisor’s Certificate of Excellence ranking consistently high in their top London theatre listings. Ten teams of cast now tour the world virtually non-stop. EXPERIENCE THE EXPERIENCE!
