The Fulltone Orchestra is one of the most exciting orchestras on the scene. Along with The Invitation Theatre Company and Bath Gilbert and Sullivan Society, the orchestra present Pirates of Penzance, set to be the most brilliant and fantastic evening of piratical fun. So rarely played with a full orchestra, this concert version –with Simon Moss narrating and Sergeant played by Graham Stone –is going to be an evening to remember. The show will take place in the stunning surroundings of Bath Abbey on Friday 11 and Saturday 12 March. Tickets from £15 (excluding booking fee), available to purchase from the Bath Box Office website. bathboxoffice.org

Explore a museum

The doors have reopened at No.1 Royal Crescent and at the Herschel Museum of Astronomy. Also reopening for the first time since it closed due to the pandemic is Beckford’s Tower and Museum, which will welcome visitors from 5 March. Having been closed for two years, it will be a great opportunity to visit the Tower before it temporarily shuts its doors in October for significant repairs and the installation of a new museum; an exhibition will showcase potential new stories that may form part of a new museum at the Tower. bath-preservation-trust.org.uk
