HONITON’s Beehive Centre celebrates the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee with two special events over the anniversary weekend, followed by the usual eclectic programme of live music and film, including a celebration of three legendary names for the rock scene..

Happy Days, on Thursday 2nd June at 2.30pm is a “street party on stage” with a sing-a-long and lots of laughs.

And on Friday 3rd at 4pm, there is a screening of Elizabeth: A Portrait in Parts, directed by the late great Roger Michell (whose famous films include Notting Hill and the brilliant recent Jim Broadbent/Helen Mirren true story, The Duke).  This new film is a nostalgic, uplifting and fresh modern chronicle of the extraordinary 70-year reign of Queen Elizabeth.

The month’s other films include the new Downton (Downton Abbey: A New Era), with two screenings on Friday 10th, the 1953 musical comedy The Band Wagon (Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse), on Thursday 27th at 2pm, and Top Gun: Maverick on Friday 24th.

Live music kicks off on Saturday 11th with Voodoo Room: A Night of Hendrix, Clapton and Cream, a noisy homage to these rock legends, followed by an acoustic night on Wednesday 15th, and the award-winning blues band The Producers on Thursday 16th.

Do you know the way to … join Tony Christie of Is This The Way To Amarillo fame, as he makes a Honiton stopover en route to Glastonbury Festival on Tuesday 21st.
