Our friends at Bingley Little Theatre have told us about this play which is coming to Bingley Arts Centre on 19th September 2024. It's a comedy all about rambling and our rights of way, so no wonder why we are interesting by it! Join Mikron on a ‘hill-arious’ ramble through the history of land access in England. From ze Norman Conquest to loitering in lockdown, via The Mass Trespass at Kinder Scout. The Pendale and District Ramblers are looking forward to celebrating ‘in stile’ on their 50th anniversary walk, but the path has been blocked by the landowner. How will they find their way through? Their quest for freedom and fresh air won’t be easy, as they navigate bulls, beavers, and wandering sheep. Grab your boots and waterproof for a meander with Mikron on a hike through history.

Not the first time Mikron Theatre comes in town!
Last time the Mikron Theatre came to town was on 28th September 2017. Again, it was a comedy about hiking and YHA history and was called 'Best Foot Forward'. The plot is about an old and beautiful hostel which is falling apart and which is up for grab by developers wanting to build a golf course on it. But one hiker, Cue Connie won't have it and will do everything she can to rescue the establishment full of memories and history.
