LinMM Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Many thanks I must have seen it when up on the Library roof!! But didn’t realise that was it’s name lol! Well it’s certainly doable if can walk from station because I can do 2 overnights in London it should be easy to plan travel on non crowded trains both up to London from Brighton and from London to Birmingham if there was a matinee for example Will keep my eye on this and as long as things are not worse by December (😳😩😱) would like to support them ...and well Nutcracker is Nutcracker!!!

Utilita is an energy supplier, apparently, who must have bought the naming rights. And if you included Birmingham in the title then everyone would immediately know where it was located 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
