Using major works of art as a metaphorical prism, Justin Mullins creates images that explore the cultural, intellectual and emotional role of mathematics in human life.
These mathematical photographs are inspired by Monet, Bellini, Dali, Rustici, Warhol and others. Each photograph sits next to an image of the work that inspired it, like a reflection. In this way, the exhibition space becomes a hall of mathematical mirrors — portals between mathematical and physical realities.

Told from the perspective of Scrooge’s deceased business partner, this multi award-winning stage adaptation has been hailed as the “definitive telling of A Christmas Carol” (Redditch Standard), and rated as one of “the top Christmas shows in London, Edinburgh and around the UK” (High 50 Culture). Recognised by Queen Elizabeth II for its part in Dickensian Scholarship, this “forcefully compelling masterpiece” (Manx Independent) delivers thrills, chills and excitement aplenty for all ages.
Jacob Marley is dead and condemned to an eternity of carrying a heavy chain, forged in life; a life to which he can no longer return except to recount the tale of his miserly business partner, Ebenezer Scrooge, and the path that lead to his redemption. Through Marley’s words, we learn how three magical spirits opened Scrooge’s eyes and made him realise the true value of love and forgiveness.

A fun, interactive and festive performance for children, incorporating music from Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker, stories, song, and musical games.
Join Trio Taliesin to hear four pieces from Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker, arranged for piano trio. The music will intermingle with storytelling as they present a new fictional tale filled with magic and adventure and featuring characters from the original Nutcracker story. There will be interactive elements throughout the performances for children to get involved in including movement, singing and body percussion activities.
This concert is recommended for children aged 3-8 years old, but all ages are welcome.
Trio Taliesin take their name from Celtic mythology: Taliesin was a renowned bard who entertained at the courts of the Brythonic kings. The trio formed in 2017 with the aim of engaging audiences in piano trio repertoire through collaborative performances and programming that link works with an underlying narrative. They have given concerts in London, Oxford, Sedbergh and Llanidloes, collaborated on performances with actress Holly Walters, and performed Beethoven’s Triple Concerto with the Cobweb Orchestra.

Join Trio Taliesin for an evening of chamber music that promises to leave you feeling joyful and festive.
The concert will open with Debussy’s Piano Trio in G major. Written in 1880, when Debussy was just 18 years old, it was composed in Italy while he was working as pianist and piano teacher for Tchaikovsky’s patroness, Nadezhda von Meck. The work is full of beautiful lyricism, warm harmonies and plenty of charm.
Next, to get you in the festive spirit, Trio Taliesin will perform a piano trio arrangement of four movements from Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker. Tchaikovsky composed the ballet in 1892, 12 years after Debussy had written his Piano Trio. Although the full staged version of the Nutcracker ballet was initially not as popular as the shorter concert suite, the ballet and its music has become some of Tchaikovsky’s most famous work.
The concert will finish with some piano trio arrangements of a few festive carols and songs to send you home feeling warmed by an evening of musical cheer and happily humming your favourite tunes.
