Activities for Adults: How to Fill Your Time at Home

April 3, 2020 by thelistingCath

Enjoy our resource of activities both local and online for during lockdown.


Visit Royston Arts Society Virtual Exhibition

Usually at this time of year Royston Arts Society’s host their annual Members’ Exhibition in Royston Museum.  This year is rather different: they’ve decided instead to mount their first ever online exhibition.  It features the work of a number of members, with all the works on display for sale.  It’s a novel venture for us and very much a learning experience.  We hope you will enjoy it, and would be very pleased to receive any feedback (for which there’s a form provided on the website).

The RAS Members’ Online Exhibition 2020 is online until Tuesday 30th  June.

Please visit www.roystonarts.org.uk and follow the exhibition link.


Giving Tuesdays from HomeStart

Every Tuesday between until 1st December, Homestart Royston, Buntingford & South Cambridgeshire will be posting up new activities for the whole family to take part in.

The idea is to give something back to all the people in the local area who support them.

The weekly activities are available here and include things such as Scavenger Hunts, yoga and exploring science:  https://www.hsrsc.org.uk/giving-tuesday/#activities


Visit the Broadway Gallery

Enjoy outstanding art online.  This Muddy Eden brings together two ostensibly figurative artists, Hannah Brown and Christopher Orr.

Visit the virtual exhibition at www.broadway-letchworth.com/studio-gallery


National Theatre Live to  your home

At a time when theatre fans around the world can’t visit their local theatres or cinemas, the National Theatre are excited to launch National Theatre at Home.

Join them every week on Thursday at 7pm BST for the premiere of a much-loved National Theatre Live play, free to stream on YouTube for seven days.

Musicals – The Shows Must Go On

Andrew Lloyd Webber is to stream his musicals online for free for the coming weeks.

“The Shows Must Go On” are streaming for free, yet the channel is encouraging viewers to donate to a variety of charities to support theatres and actors during the current times.

Phantom of the Opera until 7pm on Saturday 18th April

Fleabag

The original Fleabag play is coming to your living room! Available to rent from

Soho Theatre or Amazon Prime Video from Friday 10th April

All proceeds will support COVID-19 relief efforts, including the newly launched Fleabag Support Fund.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge explains; “I hope this filmed performance of Fleabag can help raise money while providing a little theatrical entertainment in these isolated times. Thank you to all our partners and to the creative team who have waived their royalties from this production to raise money for such vital causes in this unbelievably challenging situation. All money raised will support the people throughout our society who are fighting for us on the frontlines and those financially devastated by the crisis, including those in the theatre community. Thank you in advance to those who donate. Now go get into bed with Fleabag! It’s for charity!”

Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre

Shakespeare’s Globe will release 40 productions on its Globe Player service for free, it has been announced.

Coming up are Hamlet starring artistic director Michelle Terry (2018), Romeo and Juliet with Ellie Kendrick and Adetomiwa Edun (2009), A Midsummer Night’s Dream with Michelle Terry (2013), The Winter’s Tale with Annette Badland (2018), The Two Noble Kinsmen with Brian Dick (2018) and The Merry Wives of Windsor (2019) with Bryony Hannah.

Each show will be presented for two weeks on a rolling cycle from 6th April.

Royston Soul Club

Whilst venues are closed, each and every Saturday Royston Soul Club will be live streaming all your favourite soul, r n’b, funk, disco, club classics and party anthems.  Join in the fun at  bit.ly/RoystonSoulClub


Research Your Family Tree

David and Debra Waters run a Family Tree Research business and have put together some ideas for you on how to start your research…

Y you will almost certainly need to join one of the sites that has information online that you can research from home. There are various levels, but for good ‘England only’ records that can help you start your tree, Find My Past is currently £120 for 12 months and Ancestry which is also currently £119.99 for 12 months are both great.
