Calendar Girls The Musical

Tuesday 9 – Saturday 13 May 2023, Civic Theatre Chelmsford

A group of ordinary women in a small Yorkshire Women’s Institute decide to do things a little differently for their annual fundraising calendar, without realising how much of an impact their daring behaviours will have. In creating an artistic, nude calendar, we see each woman bloom in unexpected and fabulous ways. The true story of the Calendar Girls which launched a global phenomenon, has now been turned into this beautifully poignant musical written by Tim Firth and Gary Barlow. Robyn Gowers will make her caods directorial debut and will be joined by Rachel Plunkett as Musical Director.

We supported both Blood Cancer UK and Cancer Research UK at the show in memory of our dear friend Lynette Sullivan. We raised a phenomenal £2,241.09 for Blood Cancer UK.
