Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight comes to The Continental on Thursday 26 November, an atmospheric retelling of the Arthurian legend. It's a storytelling performance by Jason Buck, with a soundtrack by Oliver Cross, so the evening is built around the spoken word and the music that carries it. If you know the story, you'll recognise the setup: the young knight's encounter with the mysterious Green Knight and the year-long wait for the second half of their pact. If you don't, it's a good place to start.

It's being staged in The Boatyard, the indoor event space at The Continental. For those who haven't spent much time there, the pub sits on South Meadow Lane, just out of the town centre in Preston, right by the river. It's a riverside pub and restaurant serving British cuisine and real ales, and it runs a regular programme of live music, films and cultural events. The Boatyard is where the indoor stuff happens, and there's a riverside garden for when the weather allows.

Doors open at 7:30pm, and tickets start from £7.70.
