Summer Theatre - Grandma’s Shop

27th August 2026

Pierremont Hall

Join Julie Flower, for a solo, multi-character show about family history subverting expectations, at Pierremont Hall, Broadstairs.

7pm

Sheffield, 1989. Loveable, eccentric septuagenarian, Hilda, has run a second-hand clothes shop for decades. She does it to make money to feed 30 stray cats. One day, a journalist from the Guardian walks in and decides to write about her. 35 years later, her granddaughter decides to do some family research, and delves into her childhood memories of helping her grandma in the shop.

Step inside Grandma’s shop, a nostalgic and atmospheric world of old carrier bags, pools coupons and vintage clothes…presided over by an unlikely punk icon. Grandma’s Shop had a successful run at Gilded Balloon at Edinburgh Fringe 2024 and has also played the fringe festivals in Brighton and Tunbridge Wells.

All performances are free and take place outside with limited seating!

There is a licensed cashless bar on premise / Guests are welcome to bring their own picnic

This event is brought to you by Broadstairs and St Peter’s Town Council.
