About The Big Local Night Out
The Big Local Night Out brings together local talent alongside guest artists from the top of the UK's performing arts scene.
Each event is fully funded, enabling The Roses to retain 100% of the ticket income, sustaining arts and culture here in Tewkesbury.
Hosted by Comedy Magician, Tom Elliott, this unique series of events welcomes a range of artists from West End performers, to the support acts of big name tours and rising stars.
The Big Local Night Out is a series of four events, each featuring a different headline act:
