Seven things to do in Milton Keynes this weekend

1 Relatively Speaking, Milton Keynes Theatre, until Saturday

Robert Powell and Liza Goddard, two of our most popular TV and stage actors, perform in Relatively Speaking. Described as “beautifully crafted, wonderfully funny and charmingly English,”, it made Alan Ayckbourn a household name when first performed in 1967 and its comical treatment of relationships still amuses audiences nationwide.

Santa and his Elves will be taking time out of their busy schedule this year to spread some special seasonal sparkle over Woburn Safari Park. Children and adults are invited to visit Santa Claus himself in the Mammoth Play Ark where they will be greeted by the Elves and taken into Santa’s magical Christmas grotto.

With a repertoire stretching back an incredible 50 years, there will be no shortage of material when Kiki Dee makes her welcome return to The Stables this weekend.

She will be joined by musical partner Carmelo Luggeri and promises material covering the whole of her incredible career – from her days working as a backing singer for artists including Dusty Springfield to that worldwide smash with Elton John, Don’t Go Breaking My Heart.

But it won’t be a show only dealing in fantastic nostalgia – Kiki will keep it in the current too, playing material from her latest album with Carmelo, A Place Where I Can Go.

“You might be surprised at how eclectic our music is! “ Kiki told us. “Please come and taste our musical journey!”
