“We are our cells – an introduction to cellular health and wellbeing”
Venue: The Old Schoolroom, Quakers Lane.
There are 3 trillion cells in our bodies all working in a harmonious community, every cell is a reflection of the whole body and has a direct impact on it. Therefore if we understand how the cells function it can help us to maintain the health and wellbeing of our cellular community and therefore our bodies. Every one of these cells is like a miniscule body and contains the same information systems, organs, physical attributes and blueprints of the total body. Everything we eat, think, feel, believe and do have a direct effect on every cell, so the best way for us to understand the body is to understand the cell. There are 8 key factors that affect the health of these cells and these are genetics/miasms, environment, water, nutrition, detoxification, beliefs, the mind and our emotions. When explained like this it’s really so simple, so do come along and find out more……

The Sleeping Beauty
Venue: Georgian Theatre Royal
Times: Various: please ask Box Office for full details
Tickets: £7- £17 (Adults); £7-£15 (OAPs / students); £7-£10 (children)
One of the world’s favourite fairy stories of all times, The Sleeping Beauty originated from Persia over a thousand years ago! Frenchman Charles Perrault wrote down various fairytales in 1697 – several of them later became pantomimes. The first pantomime version of The Sleeping Beauty was at Drury Lane in 1806 – just eighteen years after Richmond’s Georgian theatre was built. Two centuries later, PMA Productions take on the story.
A magical castle deep in the forest, a handsome prince, a beautiful sleeping princess, fairies and a very wicked witch all promise rather a special Christmas panto this year. Following huge success over the last four years, dancers from the Heritage School of Dance in Stockton-on-Tees support PMA’s professional cast.
Book your seats now to avoid disappointment!
