Eastwood Hall – once the offices of the Coal Board now a prestigious four star venue
It’s always fantastic to visit Eastwood and entertain audiences at weddings, parties and special events. Most recently it was a tremendous privilege to be part of Tanya and Matt’s fantastic wedding at the outstanding Eastwood Hall.
Congratulations Tanya and Matt! What a fantastic day it was at Eastwood Hall.
The town is most famous as being the birthplace of the world famous writer and poet DH Lawrence (1885 – 1930) and his legacy remains evident around the area. Indeed, the DH Lawrence Birthplace and Museum on Victoria Street provides an interesting insight into this extraordinary man’s life, work and times.
The DH Lawrence Birth Place Museum – Victoria Street – just off Nottingham Road
Lawrence would spend his formative years at the Breach House on Garden Road. This is where the seeds of his genius were sown and inspiration for future literary masterpieces was provided. The Breach House can be visited and forms part of the Blue Line Trail.
The Breach House on Garden Street, Eastwood
Lawrence drew from the unique social and cultural aspects of life around Eastwood and its environs at the turn of the twentieth century. His father was a coal miner and worked at the local Brinsley colliery.
Unlike his father, Lawrence would pursue a literary career and studied at the University of Nottingham. Illustration: David Fox
Sons and Lovers, Lady Chatterley’s Lover and Women in Love are three of Lawrence’s most famous works. He was considered to be highly controversial in his time, and Lady Chatterley’s Lover would not be published in its entirety in the UK until 1960.

It was a tremendous pleasure to entertain guests of all ages. Close-up magic during the drinks reception period – as well as table magic during the wedding breakfast – was provided. William and Fern’s guests were a joy to entertain, and it is always fantastic to amuse the younger guests too!

‘We booked David for our wedding and WOW he was fantastic!’
Mary Ann and Elliott, Pavilion Gardens, Buxton, 22nd May 2021
I was delighted when Mary Ann and Elliott called upon my services for their wedding celebrations in May at the beautiful Pavilion Gardens in Buxton. This would be my first wedding reception since last October, and I was really looking forward to the occasion.
The majestic architecture of the Pavilion Gardens in Buxton. It was a tremendous privilege to be part of such a special wedding day.
The last time I had entertained at the Pavilion Gardens was at a charity fundraiser in the Grand Ballroom. However, due to the government guidelines, Mary Ann and Elliott’s wedding would be a much more intimate affair; which certainly made the day extra special.
I thoroughly enjoyed mixing and mingling with Mary Ann and Elliott’s guests in such a unique venue. Photograph courtesy of Clare Robinson Photography – http://www.clare-robinson.co.uk
Prior to performance, it was imperative to visit the venue and plan carefully for the day. Mary Ann and Elliott’s drinks reception was to be held in the majestic Winter Garden Conservatory and the exceptional Rita of Parkwood Leisure very kindly took the time out of her very busy schedule to discuss the unique format of the wedding with me. Indeed, the more planning and preparation a magician can do, the more powerful the magic will be. All of the staff at the Pavilion Gardens were fantastic and were keen to ensure everything ran smoothly for Mary Ann, Elliott and their guests.
You can always expect a very warm welcome from the exceptional events team whenever you visit the Pavilion Gardens in Buxton.
It truly was a massive privilege to mingle with such a lovely group of family members and close friends throughout drinks reception period. Guests had travelled from far and wide to share in Mary Ann and Elliott’s nuptials, and everyone was in fine spirits. We were also blessed with some sunshine which allowed everyone to sample the exquisite gardens, and the fantastic photographer Clare Robinson was always on hand to organise both group shots and capture those magic moments.
It’s always a pleasure to customise a little personalised magic for such an important occasion.
Clare and the lovely couple very kindly permitted me to display photos of magic being performed in this article. I am sure you will agree that the Manchester based photographer masterfully encapsulates those very special intimate interactions when the guests are drawn closer and closer together by the mysterious power of Magic….
One of my earliest memories of visiting Ibrox Park was in February 1988 when Rangers hosted St Mirren in a Premier League match. I watched on with my Dad and brother from the old enclosure as Davie Cooper, Mark Walters, Ray Wilkins and Richard Gough all scored in a 4 – 0 victory. A few months later I was very fortunate to be shown round the magnificent Main Stand by club legends Willie Thornton MM and John Greig MBE.
The Main Stand – 1929
Designed by Archibald Leitch, the Main Stand (now the Bill Struth Stand) was officially opened in 1929, and in 1987 achieved listed building status. It is a truly unique feat of architectural design; and in 1991 a third tier of seating above the original edifice – The Club Deck – became fully operational. By the turn of the century, the home of Rangers Football Club would become known as Ibrox Stadium and it now boasts a capacity of 50,817.
Gazza arrives – the main doorway on Edmiston Drive
The magic of Davie Cooper; Super Ally’s goals; Ray Wilkins’ thunderbolt against Celtic; Gazza’s famous hat-trick; the thrill of big European evenings… We all have special memories of Ibrox – what’s yours?
David enjoys sketching special places and venues he has performed magic at over the years. High quality vellum prints are available to order and these can also be framed. They make lovely gifts and will be sent out by registered mail.
