Still in close contact, it is with great pleasure that we welcome the Ronnie Scott’s Allstars, directed by Ronnie’s resident pianist, James Pearson. With excellent saxophonist, Alex Garnett, and featuring one of the UK’s finest vocalists and Ronnie Scott regular Polly Gibbons this will be a performance not to be missed.

A heartwarming tale of friendship, courage and determination performed outdoors in our Walled Garden.
Farmer Hogget wins a piglet at the fair – and everyone knows what unfortunate fate awaits piglets on a farm. Adopted by Fly the sheepdog, Babe develops his own methods of herding sheep using politeness instead of barking orders, and even saves the flock from being stolen by sheep rustlers. But Farmer Hogget is a hard man to please. So when Babe is entered for the county sheep dog trials he is going to need Fly’s help, all his wits, and as much politeness as he can muster if he is going to get the sheep to co-operate, win the trials, and save his bacon.
