About Us

Weston's favourite historian and Mayor, John Crockford-Hawley, returns to the Blakehay Theatre after his sell out talk 'Weston at War' talk in 2024!

Not to be missed, the evening will be a hilarious look at the historical ideas for Weston over the last 100 years. With big screen images and amazing insights as to the 'somewhat amusing' hidden plans that have been unearthed for the dystopian future of Weston-super-Mare from years gone by.

What might have been? What If?
'We could Cruise from Weston to New York'
'There was a Skyscraper Seafront'
'Hop onto the M5 using the Bournville Motorway'
'From Birnbeck to Bristol by Train'
'How about a Worlebury Tunnel'
'Fly from Weston to Paris' at the Weston International Airport'
And much much more.......................... And It's all true!
