Stuttgart's State Theatre (Staatstheater Stuttgart) is a major cultural hub, comprising the Opera House (Opernhaus), Playhouse (Schauspielhaus), and Ballet. The Opera House, built between 1909 and 1912 by architect Max Littmann, is one of the few German opera houses to survive World War II bombings. It was restored to its original condition between 1982 and 1984 and now seats 1,404 spectators. The theatre hosts a diverse range of performances, including opera, ballet, and drama, with a schedule that spans almost every day of the year. For current show listings and ticket information, it's best to check their official website.

Tooley's Boatyard has been around since 1790´s and is a historic boatyard on the Oxford Canal in the centre of the town of Banbury, Oxfordshire. It is the oldest working dry dock in the Inland Waterways. It was established to build and repair the wooden horse-drawn narrow boats used for travelling up and down the newly constructed Oxford Canal network. The boatyard launched Tom Rolt's 'Cressy' onto the canals in 1939 and his book "Narrowboat" speaks about the formation of the Inland Waterways Association which ultimately led to the preservation of the canal network. Today, the boatyard includes two scheduled ancient monuments - an historic dry dock and a smithy.
