[Vwoolf] Fwd: [MKTG] News from Charleston - Life in Squares reaction, Summer Activities, Cressida Bell

Don’t worry – you are not missing much

The programme is an awful example of BBC costume drama

It’s poorly acted, with bad casting, wooden dialogue, and atrocious lighting

If you know anything about the Bloomsbury Group, it will leave you feeling queasy.

So - did you watch the first episode? Well over 2 million people did, and we're delighted at the response to the BBC2 drama  <http://charleston.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6693a0c45ceff92c07e52c75e&id=fc024fe86b&e=03a771b0d6> Life in Squares so far.  Some of the reaction is highlighted below, and we look forward to episodes two and three where Charleston will feature more prominently (August 3 and 10, 9pm). 

  <https://gallery.mailchimp.com/6693a0c45ceff92c07e52c75e/images/94ecee42-de10-48ee-adc8-ffef158c2832.jpg> 

Notwithstanding the interest surrounding Life in Squares, we continue to have a busy summer.  After sell out performances of Opera in the Orchard and Twelfth Night earlier this month, we encourage the younger generation to Charleston with plenty of activities for families including special family tours, garden trails and our Young Bohemians creating their own production of Midsummer Night's Dream!

Our crowd funding campaign is boosted with the reveal of Cressida Bell's exclusive designs for the silk scarf reward - beautiful and a brilliant reward for donating to the appeal.

Finally, with all the interest in Charleston we have  <http://charleston.us2.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=6693a0c45ceff92c07e52c75e&id=01a2095b1a&e=03a771b0d6> extended our summer opening hours. However we strongly recommend that if you want to visit or indeed revisit us this summer,  <http://charleston.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6693a0c45ceff92c07e52c75e&id=2f4e88c269&e=03a771b0d6> please book in advance to avoid disappointment - everything Bloomsbury seems to be very popular!!
