Entertainment from Wednesday, February 11th, 2026

Last night’s Single White Female at the Opera House wasn’t quite the icy, straight-faced thriller I’d expected - and honestly, it was fantastic!

This week, the Palace Theatre has been transformed into a dazzling circus spectacular as Barnum the Musical rolled into town - and what a show it was.

I had a fantastic evening at the Glossop & High Peak Business Awards, which took place on Monday evening at Glossop's swish Market Hall. The venue was packed with 200 guests, all enjoying a three course meal, followed by a glittering presentation. The multi-million pound transformation blends the heritage of this stunning building with the flexibility to host events and local businesses, and I was blown away by how good it looks.

I've only seen one film this week, so let's cover that with that before we get onto the season of romance which is looming this weekend. Shelter is your typical Jason Statham affair, and ticks most of the boxes for fans of his work. A storm hits the isolated island where the retired special-forces operative is living, holed up in an old lighthouse. After Mason (Statham) rescues a young girl from danger, he's forced to confront the past he's been running from, whilst trying to protect them both from further danger after he is wrongly flagged as a terrorist.
