Venue: Green Howards Museum
Time: 10:00 - 16:30

The ONLY Victoria Cross awarded on D Day: 6 June 1944 was earned by a Green Howards soldier, Company Sergeant Major, Stan Hollis.

Almost 2000 men from the regiment experienced setting foot on French soil for the first time since the defeat at Dunkirk four years previously. The tide had turned.

It was more than one day. It was more than one man.

Our D Day exhibition introduces you to the soldiers who came from the sea, and those who fell from the sky. The men who didn't even make it as far as the beach, the ones who got captured, those still fighting on more than a year later, and those who can tell us directly what it was like.

You will see Stan Hollis' VC on display in our Medal Room as part of the exhibition.

Time: 14.00 (Thursday) 19.30 (Thursday and Friday)

It's 1769 and Yorkshire's population has exploded, the races at York are packed, the new theatre in Hull is thriving, and the Spa towns are full. Everyone is flocking north; every ale house is packed with the great and the bad.

Yorkshire is the place to be - a region drunk on making money, social climbing, gambling and gin, but with wealth in abundance, the temptation is great.

The Highwayman is a thrilling theatrical adventure coming from the region where Turpin was caught and Nevison made his great leap!

John Godber's Highwayman is visceral, venal and very funny. History has never felt so modern, theft never more attractive.

From the writer of the legendary Bouncers….

When we think of wild places, we often summon thoughts of inaccessible and untouched places, but wildness can be in any place depending on the moment where you experience it. Sunset, sunrise, night, can allow the busiest place to return to quiet spaces. Turning our sight to micro landscapes, we can find wilderness in our gardens, a wall, or simply turning over a rock. Then there is the wild freedom of imagination, where stars, worlds, and planets are brought into existence.

This exhibition brings together a group of artists, who have recently formed the Wild Places Art Collective. Their starting point was to explore their own unique experiences of wild landscapes, and to come together to spark ideas.

1896. Girton College, Cambridge, the first college in Britain to admit women. The Girton girls study ferociously and match their male peers grade for grade. Yet, when the men graduate, the women leave with nothing but the stigma of being a 'blue stocking' - an unnatural, educated woman. They are denied degrees and go home unqualified and unmarriageable.

In Jessica Swale's debut play, Blue Stockings, Tess Moffat and her fellow first years are determined to win the right to graduate. But little do they anticipate the hurdles in their way: the distractions of love, the cruelty of the class divide or the strength of the opposition, who will do anything to stop them. The play follows them over one tumultuous academic year, in their fight to change the future of education.

Pushed to the boiling point, three female co-workers concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss. In a hilarious turn of events, Violet, Judy and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy – giving their boss the boot! While Hart remains "otherwise engaged," the women give their workplace a dream makeover, taking control of the company that had always kept them down. Hey, a girl can scheme, can't she?
