To mark this extraordinary milestone, The Archers is stepping out of the studio and onto the stage for a very special national tour. Hosted by comedian and superfan Angela Barnes and set at the beloved Ambridge Flower & Produce Show, this landmark event brings your favourite cast into the spotlight with live performances, on-the-spot sound effects and unforgettable moments from the BBC archives.

Along the way, you’ll have the chance to test your knowledge in The Bull Pub Quiz, sing along to the famous theme tune and watch our archivist field the toughest trivia true fans can muster.

There will also be the opportunity to put your own questions to the cast - ever wondered how Brian Aldridge sleeps at night after a lifetime of infidelity? Or what Natasha’s next brilliant business idea will be? - and enjoy behind-the-scenes revelations that Lynda Snell herself would be proud to draw out. And, in true Ambridge fashion, expect a little Flower & Produce Show chaos before the night is through.

Warm, witty, and steeped in nostalgia, this unique tour celebrates the people, stories and unmistakable soundscape that have made The Archers a national treasure for generations.

Experience Ambridge as you've never seen - or heard - it before!

The Palace Theatre of Varieties opened on Whit Monday 1891 and cost its owners the then colossal sum of £40,500. In the late 1970’s the Palace Theatre underwent a major refurbishment and re-opened in 1981 with Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Jesus Christ Superstar and has since then retained its position as the premier provincial touring venue.
