Yes, indeed folks! It was Mary's birthday yesterday and, although it's not de rigeur to reveal a lady's age, Mary is now infact 227 years old! Bravo! (It's fair to say she doesn't look a day over 228.) Having enjoyed a restful August in the hammock, Mary is looking forward to private gigs aplenty come the Autumn. Why not book Mary and Jitters for your corporate event, community group or family celebration? The heating bills for Albion Cottage don't pay themselves, you know! 😃🎩

21/08/2024

Exciting plans afoot! Henley is soon to have it's own walking tour courtesy of and there might be a 'Mary' involved! But the question is, will it be our Mary?! Give a follow and you might soon find out!

Huge and grateful thanks to everyone who joined Mary and Jitters on a sweltering afternoon ramble around fascinating Marlow on Thames. Mercifully, the jovial crowd's enthusiasm was undiminished by the blazing sun, they were marvellous sports, one and all (haha, see the Olympic pun there?). It was wonderful to participate in a weekend celebrating the arts and heritage in Buckinghamshire. Thank you to for a fantastic initiative. (Mary has now taken to her hammock with a stiff G 'n' T. Cheers! 🍋)
Don't forget, Mary and Jitters are available for private bookings. Why not celebrate your special occasion with two of Marlow's more unusual residents!? Do get in touch via the modern electronic postal service [email protected] 😃🎩

What an honour, a privilege and a thrill it was for that Mary should make an appearance at the opening of their new exhibition, 'From Frankenstein to Noddy, Writers in Marlow'. Mary was delighted to cut the ribbon (despite scissors being a little unfamiliar to her, Jitters and Hives generally seeing to all domestic tasks). The exhibition opening coincides beautifully with Open Weekend, a celebration of arts and culture in Buckinghamshire. And there are still a handful of tickets left for Mary's special tour on Sunday afternoon. Grab yours quick from www.ticketsource.co.uk/marydoesmarlow 😃🎩
Thank you for being a dab hand with the Box Brownie!

25/07/2024

There are exciting things afoot at our very own this weekend. Tomorrow (Friday 26th), from 6pm until 9pm, is the grand opening ceremony in celebration of their new exhibition, 'From Frankenstein to Noddy, Writers in Marlow' and the ribbon will be cut by a very special guest indeed!! The exhibition is FREE and all are most welcome 😃😃 Both Saturday and Sunday (27th/28th) the museum will be open 12 noon until 4pm with additional entertainment laid on for Sunday afternoon.

This is all part of Open Weekend, celebrating arts and heritage in delightful leafy Buckinghamshire. Naturally, Mary is expecting to feature heavily, nay dominate, the new exhibition! She will also be conducting her own walking tour from the museum on Sunday. Do purchase your tickets from www.ticketsource.co.uk/marydoesmarlow without delay 😃🎩

15/07/2024

Mary, Jitters and Hives are extremely excited to be participating in Open Weekend, a celebration of heritage and creativity in leafy Buckinghamshire! From 25th - 28th July, a wealth of jaunty community experiences abound. With less than two weeks to go, be sure to book your tickets and join our intrepid three for a tremendous town tour, starting and finishing at our very own . It is no coincidence that the weekend sees the launch of the Museum's brand new exhibition, 'Writers of Marlow' and needless to say, Mary is expecting top billing or there'll be trouble! Tickets for Mary's town tour from www.ticketsource.co.uk/marydoesmarlow To browse all the Open Weekend events visit www.buckinghamshireculture.org
How marvellous 😃🎩

08/07/2024

Mary, Jitters and Hives experienced a fascinating evening in the company of the Librarian from last night, in haunted West Wycombe. The audience were held spellbound by the telling of two, original, highly unsettling tales and sleep did not come easily to our intrepid trio upon their return to Albion Cottage. Beautiful artwork accompanied this most sinister of evenings. If you are not faint of heart, be sure to take your seats for the next time are in your locality! Bravo to the Librarian! 😮🎩👻💀

19/06/2024

Mary and Percy spent a splendid day in bracing Broadstairs recently, home of one of her numerous superfans, Charles Dickens. Dickens was greatly influenced by Mary's masterly tome, 'Frankenstein' and there are many parallels to be drawn with Dickens' own 'Great Expectations'. Mary had great expectations when visiting a popular ice cream parlour on the seafront, offering glorious vistas of Viking Bay. She was not disappointed! 😋🎩🍧🍨
With a couple of school tours imminent, Mary's and Jitters' next public perambulation is 28th July. Do please join them by securing your tickets via Ticketsource. www.ticketsource.co.uk/marydoesmarlow They very much look forward to welcoming you 😃🎩

06/06/2024

Marlow looked truly stunning in the mellow June sunshine during Mary and Jitters' perambulations this evening. They were joined by a most enthusiastic bunch of fun seekers and much merriment was enjoyed by one and all! With huge thanks to all those who gave up a perfectly good evening to witness Mary and Jitters being rather silly. Want to join in the fun? Book today for the next tour on 28th July when summer will be in full swing! www.ticketsource.co.uk/marydoesmarlow

05/06/2024

Mary was lucky enough to be a guest of the Four Seasons Club, Marlow, today where she enjoyed a warm welcome and fine hospitality. With profound and grateful thanks to them all! She is always a little perplexed though as to why the front row at these events is frequently left unoccupied. Could it be that her reputation for selecting 'volunteers' at random is considered, by some, to be a little intimidating? Apparently no such fears amongst the revellers booked for Mary's sell out tour tomorrow night when Mary will be joined by her loyal servant, the world weary Jitters. Why not avoid disappointment and book your tickets for the July tour before it's too late? 😃🎩

29/05/2024

Mary and Jitters are back!!! They'll be pounding the streets of Marlow with a bewildered crowd next Thursday 6th June.

26/04/2024

A frightfully fabulous tour last night with a particularly merry and intrepid troop of fun seekers! Immense and heartfelt thanks to them all 😃 (Mary is looking particularly voluminous, wrapped up against the April chill!) A flurry of private bookings in May means that our next tour is not until 6th June.

18/04/2024

Dearest chums, great news. Two tickets have suddenly become available for Mary's tour next Thursday, 25th April. Hotfoot it over to www.ticketsource.co.uk/marydoesmarlow and snaffle them up, pronto. Should your packed diary deny you this opportunity, fear not. May being rather hectic, our following tour is 6th June and there are tickets aplenty!

We hope you enjoy this portrait of Lord Byron which Mary spied on a recent visit to It was during a storm, whilst in the company of Byron, Dr John Polidori and her darling Percy, in the Villa Diodati on the banks of Lake Geneva, that Mary was first struck with a monstrous idea, simultaneously creating a whole new genre of fiction 🎩⚡⚡

08/04/2024

Mary and Jitters had the pleasure of escorting a delightful bunch of fine young folk, celebrating a special birthday, around the intriguing streets and alleyways of historic Marlow on Friday night. What a hilarious time was had by one and all! You too can choose to celebrate your special occasion in the company of, arguably, two of Marlow's most unusual characters 😃🎩 Contact us without delay [email protected] or simply sign up for a tour www.ticketsource.co.uk/marydoesmarlow
Our next tour on 25th April is SOLD OUT but more dates to come very soon.
Mary recently enjoyed a visit to Snowshill Manor with her darling Percy, an eccentric residence packed to the rafters with the fascinating and, in some cases, downright bizarre collectibles of Charles Wade. Why not pay a visit? A cornucopia of intrigue awaits!

11/03/2024

Hurrah!!! Mary has a new date in the diary! Join Mary, Jitters and, hopefully, the wonderfully fragrant Hives for a jaunty stroll around the intriguing streets of Marlow, experiencing high jinx, silly tunes and witty banter as we go. Book your tickets pronto, you won't regret it! (Well, actually, you might, in fairness...) 😂🎩 www.ticketsource.co.uk/marydoesmarlow

08/03/2024

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY, an appropriate day indeed to celebrate the life of Mary Shelley, the first writer of science fiction, a pioneer, genius, vegetarian and daughter of Mary Wollstonecraft, advocate of women's rights. Hurrah for the Marys! 😃🎩

07/03/2024

Brrrrr... The wind was a little bracing this evening but, undeterred, an intrepid troupe of hardy souls explored the dark alleys and spooky corners of Marlow with Mary and Jitters, discovering macabre tales along the way. A hearty huzzah to them all and a round of hot chocolates please, maybe with a nip of brandy to boot! 😋🎩

06/03/2024

A few calotypes (snaps!) from our last town tour to whet the appetite! Join us tomorrow (Thursday 7th). Only a few tickets left!
www.ticketsource.co.uk/marydoesmarlow

27/02/2024

Well, actually there are 6 tickets left but Mary is too preoccupied with 'Homes under the hammer' to change the wording. Hopefully, Jitters will succeed in prising Mary away from her beloved 60" plasma telly on Thursday 7th March when they plan to regale a hapless bunch of stalwarts with their unique brand of 'entertainment' amidst the dark streets and hidden corners of Marlow. Why not secure your tickets and join them!? 🎩😃 www.ticketsource.co.uk/marydoesmarlow

How we love this photo of Mary performing on a previous occasion... Note the empty front seats. It does rather suggest that folk are a little scared of our Mary! 😂

19/01/2024

I say! 1st Cookham Guides are made of hardy stuff. Minus 3 degrees on Mary's tour of historic Marlow tonight and not a whimper 🥶 Bravo to them and their unflinching leaders! Afterwards, Mary and Jitters hastened back to Albion Cottage and are now tucking into a glass or two of Jitters' excellent sloe gin, just the ticket for a bitter January night 😃🎩❄️ Why not book Mary and Jitters to entertain your merry troop?! [email protected]

12/01/2024

After enjoying tippity top hospitality at an enormously jolly private celebration in central Marlow, Mary and Jitters found time to do a spot of shopping. Even gothic novelists and their hapless servants need to regularly replenish the pantry! Do you have a celebration coming up and fancy some wacky entertainment? Why not drop Mary a line? 😃🎩 [email protected]

10/01/2024

It is with great regret that we are cancelling our tour tomorrow evening due to much of our regular route being underwater 😕 With wholehearted sympathy to homes and businesses affected by the recent inundations. However, Mary and Jitters are not overly downhearted as they are booked to bring their curious entertainments to the front parlour of some excellent customers this very Friday night! Do get in touch if you too would welcome a visit from two of Marlow's more unusual characters! [email protected]

Those jolly folks at the meteorology office are forecasting an end to all the wind and rain and a week of fine days and calm eves is predicted.
