SUMMARY:'Victoria' at the Watermill Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Osborne House 1901. As Victoria faces the final days of her reign\, she clings to her diaries\, the carefully kept record of a life defined by love\, duty and profound loss. Into this certainty comes her younger self\, forcing the older Victoria to confront memories she’s chosen to bury and truths she’s decided to forget. \n\n\n\nVictoria and Albert are celebrated as one of history’s great love stories. Victoria had nine children with Albert\, and after his premature death at 42\, she spent the rest of her life mourning her ‘dearest angel’. At least that is the story told in her diaries. But does writing something make it true? Looking back at a young queen\, this new play tells the story of a woman pregnant for most of her 20s and 30s\, gradually surrendering her strength and authority to her controlling husband\, and growing increasingly lonely in her crumbling marriage.

SUMMARY:Marlborough Rugby on The Common - 2nd XV (Nomads) v Salisbury
DESCRIPTION:Click here for details – Kick Off time etc. \n\n\n\nParking: \n\n\n\nThe Common is used by many different clubs and groups\, who regularly need this space to park. This is permitted parking allowed by Marlborough Town Council\, who are the custodians of the Common on behalf of the residents. \n\n\n\nThe varied use can be detrimental to the ground’s ‘health’\, particularly parking during wet conditions which causes rutting. The rutting not only damages the ground but also presents a risk to other users. \n\n\n\nIn order to alleviate the impact of parking and keep the ground at its best\, for the benefit of all interest groups\, matting has been laid to create more resilient parking spaces. In addition\, towards the south-east section of the Common\, a large area has a hard standing sub layer. \n\n\n\nThe diagram below shows the area (marked in orange) that is allocated for parking. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs Marlborough Rugby Club is a major user of the common it is important we strictly adhere to this guidance. \n\n\n\nIf heavy or awkward equipment is required as part of training or a match\, access is allowed to drop the equipment off. The vehicle must then be returned to the orange section of the common. \n\n\n\nPlease note: The carpark at the clubhouse\, on match days is reserved for clubhouse staff\, disabled bays prebooked vehicles\, all other traffic must park The Common. \n\n\n\nWe also advise not to park on Free’s Avenue. There is ample room on the common. It is important to keep Free’s Avenue clear for traffic and not to disrupt the visibility of pedestrians crossing the road. \n\n\n\nPlease do not ignore or drive around the NO PARKING signs and cones. \n\n\n\nThank you in advance for your cooperation.

SUMMARY:The Age of Decadence – Politics & Society with David Du Croz- part of 'History Live' at the Merchant's House
DESCRIPTION:Behind the “pomp and circumstance” of late Victorian and Edwardian Britain there lurked social upheaval\, political turmoil\, industrial unrest and imperial rebellion. To what extent do these “decadent” elements undermine the splendour\, imperial grandeur and apparent strength of the country at this time in its history? Is the lustrous image of this period an illusion? Does this revised interpretation of this period of British history devalue one hundred years of constitutional development devoid of revolution; does it depreciate massive economic and territorial expansion; does it help to explain the drift into global war in 1914? \n\n\n\nThe Merchant’s House is thrilled to present History Live\, a week-long festival celebrating history in all its forms. This inaugural event promises something for everyone: from engaging lectures and a walking tour of Marlborough to visits to Wilton Windmill and Shaw House. \n\n\n\nHistory Live invites visitors to step back in time\, explore local heritage\, and experience history in a dynamic\, interactive way. Organisers hope this marks the start of a landmark annual event for Marlborough. \n\n\n\nIn Partnership with North Wessex Downs Landscape Trust and Wiltshire Historic Buildings Trust \n\n\n\nFor tickets – click here

DESCRIPTION:Wilton Windmill\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDiscover the magic of Wilton Windmill\, set high on the sweeping chalk hills of the stunning North Wessex Downs about 9 miles south-east of Marlborough. Surrounded by an unspoilt landscape of rolling downland\, ancient woodland and peaceful valleys\, this remarkable site offers space\, tranquillity and breathtaking views in every direction. With so few people and so much open sky\, you may feel as though you have the downs entirely to yourself.Join us for a special guided tour and step inside this beautifully restored historic mill. Discover its fascinating story\, see traditional milling machinery\, and learn why preserving this rural gem is so important for future generations.

SUMMARY:'Victoria' at the Watermill Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Osborne House 1901. As Victoria faces the final days of her reign\, she clings to her diaries\, the carefully kept record of a life defined by love\, duty and profound loss. Into this certainty comes her younger self\, forcing the older Victoria to confront memories she’s chosen to bury and truths she’s decided to forget. \n\n\n\nVictoria and Albert are celebrated as one of history’s great love stories. Victoria had nine children with Albert\, and after his premature death at 42\, she spent the rest of her life mourning her ‘dearest angel’. At least that is the story told in her diaries. But does writing something make it true? Looking back at a young queen\, this new play tells the story of a woman pregnant for most of her 20s and 30s\, gradually surrendering her strength and authority to her controlling husband\, and growing increasingly lonely in her crumbling marriage.

SUMMARY:The Age of Decadence – Post Impressionism with David Evans - part of 'History Live' at the Merchant's House
DESCRIPTION:For much of the 20th century the art of the late Victorian and Edwardian periods was deeply unfashionable. The swagger portraits of artists such as Sargent and the sexually suggestive visions of the ancient world of Alma-Tadema can be used to argue that this was indeed an ‘age of decadence’\, to borrow the title of a recent book on the period by Simon Heffer. Yet perhaps this view ignores too much of the artistic output of the period to command acceptance. The art of the Newlyn School or the Camden Town Group and even a more complete survey of Sargent’s work suggest that the British art of the period cannot simply be dismissed as ‘decadent.’  \n\n\n\nThe Merchant’s House is thrilled to present History Live\, a week-long festival celebrating history in all its forms. This inaugural event promises something for everyone: from engaging lectures and a walking tour of Marlborough to visits to Wilton Windmill and Shaw House. \n\n\n\nHistory Live invites visitors to step back in time\, explore local heritage\, and experience history in a dynamic\, interactive way.

SUMMARY:Sir Frank Whittle - Jet Pioneer - talk at the Kennet Valley Hall
DESCRIPTION:Click here for tickets \n\n\n\nor call box office – 0333 666 3366 \n\n\n\n Crofton Beam Engines in conjunction with the Kennet Valley Hall is very pleased to have the opportunity invite you to an evening talk to hear about the pioneering engineer Sir Frank Whittle\, inventor of the modern jet engine.  We all take it for granted that flying in jet aircraft for a holiday is quite normal and give little thought to the engineering talent that\, despite everything that the government of the time could do to hold back progress\, lead to the invention of the modern jet engine and a revolution in air travel.  \n\n\n\nOn Wednesday 22nd April at 7.30pm aviation documentary producer Nicholas Jones will be talking about Sir Frank Whittle and the development of the jet engine. The talk will be illustrated by many film segments interviewing Sir Frank and shots of the engineering in development and flight. We are very fortunate to have Nicholas presenting this talk the seeds of which go back to an original documentary project in 1997. Nicholas commented that in 2004 listeners to local radio stations in the BBC West region voted Whittle their choice in a ‘local hero’ competition. Nicholas was then based between Chippenham and Malmesbury and got wind of this contest. It became the catalyst for him to make a new documentary\, which lies at the heart of a talk Nicholas is giving on

SUMMARY:In Maton’s Footsteps:  Discovering the town he painted with Nick Baxter - part of 'History Live' at the Merchant's House
DESCRIPTION:Born in Marlborough in 1817\, George Maton was recorded in the 1841 census as a painter at just 20 years old. Today\, his work is recognised as part of the naive\, or folk art\, tradition.

After enjoying the exhibition\, you are invited to step beyond the canvas and into the town itself for an exclusive guided walking tour led by historian Nick Baxter. As you explore the historic streets\, you will quite literally walk in Maton’s footsteps\, discovering the very buildings and scenes that inspired his paintings.   \n\n\n\nThe tour concludes back at The Merchant’s House\, where you will have the opportunity to explore this remarkable 17th-century home — a fitting and memorable finale to a journey that brings art and history vividly to life. \n\n\n\nThe Merchant’s House is thrilled to present History Live\, a week-long festival celebrating history in all its forms. This inaugural event promises something for everyone: from engaging lectures and a walking tour of Marlborough to visits to Wilton Windmill and Shaw House. \n\n\n\nHistory Live invites visitors to step back in time\, explore local heritage\, and experience history in a dynamic\, interactive way.

SUMMARY:The Age of Decadence – Arts and Crafts with Christopher Rogers - part of 'History Live' at the Merchant's House
DESCRIPTION:The late 19th century saw Great Britain at its zenith. The British Empire spanned the world as did our commercial and financial interests. Fortunes were made\, ranging from beef production in South America to the tea estates of Assam. New money needed to be displayed and showing off with a new house\, the more opulent the better\, was a symbol of success. It might well be described as an ‘Age of Decadence’ where taste was subservient to display. However\, is that a fair assessment? The influence of William Morris\, the Arts and Crafts Movement and the legacy of Edwin Lutyens and Detmar Blow might suggest otherwise. We will explore these different trends in the dying years of this ‘Age of Decadence’\, brought to a cataclysmic end by the First World War.   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Merchant’s House is thrilled to present History Live\, a week-long festival celebrating history in all its forms. This inaugural event promises something for everyone: from engaging lectures and a walking tour of Marlborough to visits to Wilton Windmill and Shaw House. \n\n\n\nHistory Live invites visitors to step back in time\, explore local heritage\, and experience history in a dynamic\, interactive way. Organisers hope this marks the start of a landmark annual event for Marlborough. \n\n\n\nIn Partnership with North Wessex Downs Landscape Trust and Wiltshire Historic Buildings Trust \n\n\n\nFor tickets – click here
