Events coming up in Brentford

Thursday: Elvis (12A)

Baz Luhrmann's "Elvis" explores the life and music of Elvis Presley (Butler), seen through the prism of his complicated relationship with his enigmatic manager, Colonel Tom Parker (Hanks).

The story delves into the complex dynamic between Presley and Parker spanning over 20 years, from Presley's rise to fame to his unprecedented stardom, against the backdrop of the evolving cultural landscape and loss of innocence in America. Central to that journey is one of the most significant and influential people in Elvis's life, Priscilla Presley (DeJonge).

Friday: Musical Museum visit with Guided Tour 

The Musical Museum tells the fascinating story of how people have captured and listened to music over the last four centuries. 

From tiny music boxes to the Mighty Wurlitzer theatre organ in the museum's concert hall, the collection includes an impressive array of instruments and inventions, including reproducing pianos, orchestrions, self-playing violins, pipe organs, gramophones & synthesizers. Find out how music was recorded and reproduced, see and hear them in action with the museum's expert tour guides.
