Cricket broadcasting legend brings new show to Alnwick Playhouse

Blowers, as he is better known among his many fans, is famed for his plummy tones and all-round good humour.

He is bringing his brand-new show, My Dear Old Things, to the theatre on Tuesday, September 6 at 7.30pm. Tickets start from £23.

Henry said: “I can’t tell you how excited I am to be getting back onto the stage after nearly three years! It will be a lively mixture of making the Real Marigold Hotel and almost fifty years with Test Match Special. We’ll have huge fun and I can’t wait to see you all there!”

Producer Simon Fielder said: “It’s rare that one gets the opportunity to sit in the armchair opposite a national treasure and be regaled with eye-popping anecdotes at such close quarters.”

The event is being run in aid of the charity, Chance to Shine.
