Mr Merlin and Okey Dokey the Dragon

To promote our upcoming Halloween show, we have created a fun Wordsearch for you and your children. Have a play here and see if you can find the 12 words needed. If you'd like a printable version, just let me know and I will send it to you. I will post the solution in a few days time.

Our Halloween show with 5 of Bournemouth's best family entertainers ( Mr Merlin- Jamie Jigsaw - Krazy Kev - DJ Phil- The Lovely Bubbly Show ) will be performing at The Barrington Centre in Ferndown on Monday the 26th of October.

I recently posted an AI created image promoting our BEN show at the Barrington Theatre in Ferndown on Monday the 26th of October. Tickets available now! :-)

Anyway, just for fun, I asked it to show us as ladies (because we need more female representation in local magical entertainment), and it came back with this hilarious image.

The funniest thing for me is this - Jamie Jigsaw, Krazy Kev and Richard from the Lovely Bubbly Show look great. Just feminine versions of themselves. I don't know what's happened to me though. It seems to have swapped me with what looks like a Loose Women presenter! 😆The best though is Phil from Get up and Groove. He just looks like he normally does, but with a wig and hooped earrings. In fact, I have seen him look exactly like that on one of our nights out. 🤣

Let me know if you have any other suggestions of what to ask AI to do to us. Maybe as characters from your favourite film or TV show?

What a great night last night meeting up with this bunch of reprobates. It's been some time since all members of the B.E.N. group have got together. Lovely curry at Ali's Brasserie in Winton.

It wasn't just a social though. We had a lot to discuss. Plans for our Halloween show at The Barrington Arts Centre right in the heart of Ferndown on the 26th of October. If you've ever been to a BEN show before, you will know how much fun we have. It will be a blast and just a little spooky (not too much though).

Tickets are available by going to https://eventenergiser.tix.chobble.net/ticket/0ea22

Only £32 and you can get a family ticket. That's seriously great value.

Hope to see you there!

This is a lovely review I got from a nursery graduation ceremony. I never take it for granted and really appreciate people taking the time out to write a review for me. Thank you Gina!
