Dawn French: 30 Million
Minutes // 6 Nov

Following her sold-out show last
year, the Pavilion Theatre is delighted
to welcome back Dawn French in her
one-woman show 30 Million Minutes.
30 Million Minutes consists of various
delights and riches, with the odd
irksome tribulation thrown in, as
Dawn takes you through the lessons
life has taught her and the things
she knows for sure. Book for this
show NOW, because Dawn French
is convinced it won't be long before
she is far too doolally to perform it.
7.30pm. Price: £40

Bonham’s London to Brighton Veteran Car Run // 1 Nov

The world's longest-running motoring celebration sees 500 eligible
pre-1905 cars demonstrate their engineering ability on the historic
60-mile run through Sussex. The Run takes place on the first Sunday
of every November and commemorates the Emancipation Run of
14th November 1896, which celebrated the passing into law of
the Locomotives on the Highway Act. This law raised the speed
limit for 'light locomotives' from 4mph to 14mph and abolished the
requirement for these vehicles to be preceded by a man on foot. The
Locomotive Act was still widely known as the 'Red Flag Act', and a red
flag was symbolically destroyed at the start of the Emancipation Run,
as it is today in Hyde Park. In 2015 it is the 119th anniversary of the
very first Run. Today it represents a rare opportunity for participants
to take their extraordinary automobiles on this historic 60-mile journey
from Hyde Park in central London to the seafront in Brighton.
