What's on


Saturday 4th October 2025, 7:30pm

Thornbury Arts Festival: Nell Gwynne

St Mary's Church, Thornbury

The festival will welcome back Lesley Smith, who is known for her entertaining and informative costumed portrayals of historical characters, this time appearing as Nell Gwynne, mistress of Charles II.

Some believe that was all Nell was known for, other than for selling oranges, but she was a victory for English womanhood, showing great courage and, against all the odds, became a star of the London stage, as well as beloved of the King of England.

Lesley will be joined by her husband, Dr Gareth Williams, in the role of Charles II on Saturday, October 4, in St Mary’s Church. All evening shows start at 7.30pm.
