About Pride and Prejudice
When Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy first meet, it's dislike at first sight. Born into a lesser noble family of five sisters, with nothing to recommend them but their charms, Elizabeth is beneath the wealthy Mr Darcy's notice, while Elizabeth sees Mr Darcy as a man born to privilege and unpleasant arrogance. Despite their pride and prejudice blinding them to each other's true worth, can they overcome these flaws and find their way to happiness together?

Venue: ADC Theatre, Park Street, Cambridge CB5 8AS
Meeting point: in the bar from 7.15pm

Thu, Jun 19, 2025, 11:00 AM BSTThreads through the Bible exhibition at Ely Cathedral
Ely Cathedral, Ely
Threads through the Bible is an astonishing, inspiring exhibition of textile art. With spectacular designs, brilliant colours and extraordinary stitching, you’re taken on a journey through the Old and New Testaments via the medium of embroidery.

Why not join Caroline at Ely Cathedral to view what is probably the largest ever textile project by a single person. There are 44 huge spectacular panels, each almost 3m high and up to 4m wide. If all the panels were laid out side by side, they’d stretch more than 80 metres.

Artist Jacqui Parkinson has been fascinated by the Bible and its stories for fifty years – and now in the last ten years has been stitching the panels in her studio in Devon, using over 25 million stitches.

Please buy your tickets (at a cost of £14.00) from:
https://www.elycathedral.org/events/visitor-tickets

We will meet outside the main door of Ely Cathedral at 11am and will probably go for lunch afterwards
