WATERMANS’ THEATRE Reopens

Erica Weston is pleased to present the autumn programme of Cabaret, Dance and Performance

Following seven months of closure, Watermans is thrilled to be reopening its theatre on Friday 2nd October with the first in a new series of Friday Nights Live. This popular and eclectic programme brings together all kinds of performance from sultry cabaret to acrobatic dance so there’s always something to brighten Friday nights in West London. The theatre will be Covid-secure with face coverings, socially distanced seating and enhanced cleaning. Customers have already commented on how well Watermans has managed its socially distanced cinema, with comments on its social media such as: ‘They’ve definitely got the Covid safety measures nailed at Waterman’s and the staff are all so helpful and friendly’. So you can be sure you will feel as safe as possible while enjoying the show. Watermans’ Director Jan Lennox said: ‘I urge you to support these artists if you can and come and give them a huge round of applause - in person. There really is nothing like sharing the experience with others and I know our whole team is looking forward to that.’ The Guru Tandoori Kitchen at Watermans is open too, so before the show you can enjoy a curry. A great local night out.

FOR 2020

Burchell’s of Old Isleworth

With our traditional business pretty much non-existent we’ve adapted to survive in 2020, deciding to take our great food direct to your door. Burchell’s at Home menus change weekly, offering a range of freshly made meals, salads, cakes, desserts and other treats. To some a godsend during isolation; to many just great to have good meals without the hassle of cooking. Wholesome, professionally cooked, everyday food is here to stay! Burchell’s at Work for businesses starting to get back to a ‘new kind of normal’. Traditional finger buffets or the new option of ‘packed lunch boxes’ avoiding crowds at the table. Burchell’s at Play has menus for private gatherings. Small or large parties (rules dependent), dinners, weddings and wakes.
