A new renewable energy league table reveals which counties have the most solar panels installed across England and Wales. The South West comes out top, with Cornwall taking first place and Devon hot on its heels.

The free-scoring Thomas Waldrom extended his lead at the top of the division’s try pile with his second treble of the season, while winger Olly Woodburn added three of his own alongside further scores from James Short and Ollie Atkins.

There were two changes to the City side for the eighty-third Devon derby between these two sides. Matt Oakley returned from injury to anchor the Grecians’ midfield in a 4-3-3 formation, and David...

An Englishman, Irishman and Scotsman got trapped in a joke…
‘How do we get out?’ Said the Englishman.
‘Just stop telling it’ said the Irishman.
‘But we’re too far in!’ said the Scotsman.
All three checked their phones for reception.
The Joke is a new play from comedy award winner Will Adamsdale – and company – exploring jokes and why we tell them, countries and why we need (and despair of) them, and life and why we bother. And tic tacs.

Tonight I’m Gonna Be The New Me is an arresting physical endurance act that crashes headfirst into an impossibly true love story – and out the other side. It exposes how we perform our relationships amidst a reality that just won’t live up to what the movies promised.
Disarmingly honest and comically imagined, Tonight I’m Gonna Be The New Me pierces the bloody heart of our obsession with outlasting hardship. Intimate and startlingly immediate, it...
