Whilst you are over here we want you to see varying parts of British life. This is why we put on various subsidized events so you can experience life as a Brit may. We have picked a few of the events we are running this term so you can get excited. The events run throughout the semester, look out for posters around the center for further details.

Billy Elliott

A heart warming tale, showing a young boy stepping out of the boxing ring into ballet shows. Set in a period where Northern Britain was being torn apart by unemployment and mining strikes, the times are difficult for Billy and all around him. Running since 2005 on London's West End, Billy Elliott is a captivating musical. Don't just take our word for it, check out the reviews.  To get a taste of the show, have a watch of the trailer at the Billy Elliott YouTube channel.
