THE CHRISTMAS BROADCAST
22 December 2026 at 4pm and 7.30pm
The Christmas Broadcast, an immersive centenary event, is the first public sharing of our St Hilary Centenary Project. The evening’s experience combines original archive audio with live performance to recreate the atmosphere, innovation and excitement of that historic night. Join us in a candlelit St Hilary Church, alongside local schoolchildren and a live choir, as we travel back 100 years to relive the drama, ingenuity and joy of the original broadcast. Tickets on sale soon.

ST HILARY CALLING!
Our winter tour tells the extraordinary story of how a small community became the centre of a national experiment. Packed with jeopardy, humour and human drama, the story tells the tale of the crusading vision of a young BBC producer, the challenge facing his engineer, a vicar’s dilemma and the mixed emotions of the folk of the remote village of St Hilary as they prepared to be beamed into living rooms across the country. A fascinating, funny and heart-warming tale for communities to share this winter. *inspired by true events!
Touring February, March and April 2027. Tickets on sale soon.
THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES PROJECT
What can today’s voices tell future generations about place, faith and belonging? As part of our St Hilary Centenary Project, Miracle Theatre and Storylines are working with young people aged 16–25 to explore how stories are gathered, recorded and shared. Through thoughtful questions and careful listening, participants will learn to record people’s memories with care, respect and consent, and discover creative ways to bring them to life.
The project begins in November 2026.
