Celebration of Holi, Festival of Colours – Saturday 23 March
Namaste Kingston's Rangotsav 2024 is one of the YMCA Hawker's back-to-back Holi celebrations.
Visitors can celebrate the Festival of Colours with award-winning DJ Kunal alongside a live dhol – a double-sided Indian drum.
Guests will also be joined by Mayor of Kingston Cllr Diane White.
Tickets include a colour pack for the celebrations, as well as unlimited candy floss for kids!
Celebrations will run from 1pm to 5pm at the Hawker Centre along Lower Ham Road.
Fairfield Litter Pick – Saturday 23 March
Coinciding with The Great British Spring Clean (15 to 31 March), come join fellow Womble-minded in helping create a greener borough.
If you'd like to litterpick in good company & make a local difference, head down to Fairfield, Kingston at 2pm this Saturday and help out.
Many hands make light work, and the organisers will have litterpickers to loan – plus sweet treats for every litter hero!
Litterpicking runs from 2pm to 3pm this Saturday 23 March.
Rose Theatre's Macbeth (an undoing) – until Saturday 23 March
Macbeth (an undoing) is Zinnie Harris' adaptation of the classic production, still running at the Rose Theatre for a few days.
Originally premiered at the Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh in February 2023, Harris' retelling of the classic Scottish play puts the iconic Lady Macbeth at the heart of the plot.
By putting her front and centre, it begs the question – have we really heard the whole story?
Rose Theatre's artistic director Christopher Haydon says: "Zinnie [tilts] this classic story on its axis, bringing something new to conversations about power and leadership in today's world."
This editor can confirm it is a must-see for the theatrically-minded
Macbeth (an undoing) runs from now until 23 March at the Rose Theatre, with both daytime and evening performances available.
Reveller & Webb: The Road To Insanity Tour – Friday 22 March
It wouldn't be a Kingston Nub News What's On round-up without a nod to iconic local venue The Fighting Cocks, who are hosting Reveller and WEBB.
After going on an indefinite hiatus in 2016, Reveller reformed in 2022 with new members, new music and the same tried and tested blend of hard hitting guitars and soaring vocals.
They will be joined by WEBB, Hard-hitting alt-metal power trio from South West England, and One Last Day, a modern hard rock band born from the pandemic in the south of England.
Tickets are £6 in advance or £10 on the door for this Friday night gig at The Fighting Cocks.
