Spencer Park Pavilion – Meeting Tonight
Wine and Crime
Next Saturday the “Wine and Crime” evening at Earlsdon Library features local author Jason Wilson, pictured below, discussing the crimes of his father (Earlsdon local Tony Spencer) with the True Crime Investigators UK. There will be input from ex-police officers and criminal law experts. The event takes place on Saturday 25 March at 7pm – tickets cost £10 and are available from the library.
Springboard Festival approaches
It is now only a couple of weeks to the opening of the Springboard Festival, one of the most exciting events we have ever held at the Criterion Theatre.
More than 30 performances, involving over 60 performers, actors and artists will be presented on our stage over 8 evenings from 25th March to the 1st April.
There is poetry, spoken word, music, multi-media performance, new writing and drama of many genres, including four in-house Criterion plays. Each evening’s offer is a different combination of at least three different performances, so there is something to appeal to every taste. There are multiple runs of selected shows, so you don’t have to miss anything!
The full programme is up on the theatre’s website now.
In addition, all week there will be art exhibitions in the bar and foyer; the Festival poetry workshop The Word from the Floor will be producing material; and we have a number of artists-in-residence documenting and responding to the Festival, including a poet and a sketch artist.
The festival brings together amateur, community and professional artists from Coventry and Warwick into the same creative space. We are looking forward to some fantastic collaborations unfolding live on stage, conversations that lead to future work and continued development of our theatre.
Please come and share in this exciting experience. We have a limited number of season tickets left at only £40, which allow you entry to any performance across the whole festival. Please note that these will only be on sale until 18 March. Individual tickets can also be bought for each evening at the usual prices.

SPON END NIGHTTIME CLOSURES
The latest phase of work on the Spon End road widening project will involve significant evening / overnight road closures between 20 and 24 February.
Contractors Balfour Beaty have informed local residents that Spon End / Butts Road will be closed on the city-bound side between the junctions with Hearsall Lane and Windsor Street between the times of 7pm and 6am on 5 nights, Monday 20 – Friday 24 February inclusive.
The notice states “Signed diversion routes will be in place and access to business and homes will be maintained at all times”, although it is difficult to see how that will be possible except on foot.
Balfour Beaty also say they will guarantee minimum noise, and noisy works outside the residential properties between the Railway Bar and Grill and Upper Spon Street will finish no later than 11pm.
Queries can be addressed to Onika Morgan by phone on 07715 615163 or email: AQPenquiries@balfourbeaty.com or on the nights work is actually taking place call Joshua Blair on 07756 503386.
