CALENDAR GIRLS

Enjoy a night at the theatre and help MMF support a vital museum access project

HAZLITT THEATRE, MAIDSTONE:
Tuesday April 29 – Saturday May 3, 2025 (7.3Opm April 29 - May 2, 3pm May 3)

MMF has once again been chosen by the highly regarded Willington Players to benefit from every ticket sold by the charity for their next production Calendar Girls.

This heartwarming and hilarious play is based on a true story and the hit 2003 film. When Annie’s husband dies of leukaemia, she and her best friend Chris decide to raise funds for the local hospital. They create a calendar featuring friends from the Women’s Institute…in tastefully nude poses. These Calendar Girls begin to turn heads and capture hearts around the world in a glorious celebration of friendship, community, and the power of ordinary people to make a difference.

For every ticket you buy for £17, MMF receives £7.36. This will go towards a flexible Museum step system now installed but still needing funds.

The last play you generously supported Flare Path raised £500 for this vital project, an essential improvement to the Lives in our Landscape gallery, opened last summer by actor Hugh Dennis. Well worth a visit!

MMF Trustees invite you, your family, friends, and guests to enjoy another entertaining night at the theatre while supporting our museum. You can choose any performance to suit you.

MMF WILL ONLY BENEFIT IF YOU BUY THROUGH MMF – NOT THE THEATRE!

Dining note: By special arrangement with the Willington Players, Frederics Bistro, an MMF corporate supporter, offers a 2-course pre-theatre dinner for £15. This offer is only available by booking direct with the restaurant (01622 297414).
