SUMMARY:Attention All Shipping – A Celebration of the Shipping Forecast
DESCRIPTION:Attention All Shipping – A Celebration of the Shipping Forecast\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Attention All Shipping – A Celebration of the Shipping Forecast\n\n\n\nAs the shipping forecast embarks on its second century\, Charlie Connelly’s hilarious and informative show brings the quirky broadcast vividly to life\, celebrating what he firmly believes to be the greatest invention of the modern age. \n\n\n\nHow did a weather forecast for ships capture the hearts of a nation\, from salty old sea dog to insomniac landlubber? How is it possible for ‘rain later’ to be ‘good’? And where the hell is North Utsire? \n\n\n\nDelving into the history of the forecast and the extraordinary people who made it\, Charlie explains what those curious phrases really mean\, celebrates its wide cultural impact and influence on poets\, musicians and writers\, shares rip-roaring adventures from his own extraordinary journey through the 31 sea areas and presents his case for the shipping forecast being our finest achievement. \n\n\n\nInspired by Charlie’s bestselling book\, which has sold more than a quarter of a million copies\, this pacy\, moving and hilarious show takes you all the way from Viking to South East Iceland and back to ensure the shipping forecast will never sound the same again. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReviews\n\n\n\n\n“Charlie Connelly is one of the funniest people I have ever had the pleasure of sitting in a studio with…He has a natural wit that doesn’t get crushed by an overzealous ego with a lovely personality attached to it.” \n\n\n\nFi Glover\, broadcaster \n\n\n\n\n\n“Charlie is always warm\, funny and engaging…I actually sent him a fan letter and I’ve never done that to anyone in my life before.” \n\n\n\nBernard Sumner\, New Order \n\n\n\n\n\n“I can thoroughly recommend an evening spent in the company of the very funny and very lovely Charlie Connelly\, whose knowledge of what I call ‘the ships’ is excellent. Sou’westers optional.” \n\n\n\nCorrie Corfield\, BBC Radio 4 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nFrom £22.00 \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nFriday 27 February 2026 at 7.30pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Mill Arts Centre\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\nThe Mill Arts Centre is the cultural hub for Banbury and the surrounding area. \n\n\n\nAs the only dedicated arts provision in the area\, it aims to inspire creativity and enrich the lives of the communities by providing a high-quality\, varied artistic\, educational and participatory programme. \n\n\n\nIt plays a significant role in the town’s cultural\, social and economic development by offering the community the chance to engage with and be entertained by several art forms. \n\n\n\nThe Mill Arts Centre offers an exciting live events programme\, including theatre\, dance\, music\, comedy\, film\, workshops and classes.
