The Plaza was built in 1932 and many “famous faces” have appeared over the years and still do to-day. There has been an ongoing renovation and improvement programme which has successfully brought it back to its’ original Art Deco state. We will have a behind the scenes tour, showcasing all that goes into the presentation of productions at this venue and what the general public does not normally see. After this interesting tour we will have a Soup/Sandwich lunch followed by tea/coffee in their beautiful Art Deco Cafe. On our way home we will stop off at the famous family owned Bents Garden Centre with time to have a look round, have an afternoon cup of tea/coffee with one of their delicious cakes, maybe a chilled wine. An opportunity to inspect their wonderful Christmas Displays which will be on show
