Diary Entry
Sunday 30th June 2013 - I started doing some poignant, detailed base research on West Yorkshire Playhouse in Leeds to find out how feasible a trip/event from Wyke 6th Form College, Hull to the West Yorkshire Playhouse would be for a group of Students. I started by researching its appearance, images, seating plan, website, contact detail, location, travel and the most feasible way to get to this tourist destination with a conclusion of its feasibility of access/travel compared to both The Lowry Theatre and Shakespeare's Globe Theatre.

Location of The West Yorkshire Playhouse in Leeds on Google Maps, marked with a red bubble and black 'A'....
^^Above shows the location of the West Yorkshire Playhouse, Leeds marked with a black 'B' in a green
bubble and the location of Wyke 6th Form College, Hull (where the trip would be running from)
marked with a black 'A' in a green bubble. There is also a thick blue line running between the two
locations which marks the route on this map which would be the quickest, easiest and most feasible
route to travel to the West Yorkshire Playhouse, Leeds from Wyke 6th Form College, Hull by road
(probably by hired coach/ college mini-bus - most feasible and cheapest method of travel for group
visits, dependent on whats available at the time of the visit). Travelling this route through the M62
could take just 1 hour 11 mins or upto around 1 hour 20 mins, depending on the variable factors
of the type of vehicle, traffic, stops and route travelled.
^^Above shows the location of the West Yorkshire Playhouse, Leeds marked with a black 'B' in a green
bubble and the location of Wyke 6th Form College, Hull (where the trip would be running from)
marked with a black 'A' in a green bubble. Between the two destinations is a thick blue line, which
on this map marks one of the most direct, easiest and feasible route to travel between these two
destinations using public transport. This map, research and information suggests it could take from
around 2 hours 11 mins to get there by public transport or upto 2 hours 45 mins dependent on the
variable factors of which types of public transport are used, what trains are running at the time and
what type of public transport would be most feasible, cheapest and easiest. Travelling by public
transport could therefore take around twice as long as it could take just 1 hour 11 mins if travelling
by road either by bus, coach or mini-bus (dependent o availability). Public transport also typically costs
a lot of money especially using the trains which are the most direct route, this could also have health
and safety implications and a lot of messing about as it could lead to a lot of swapping and changing
between different modes of transport. Students typically have less money that most other groups of
people and therefore many may not be able to afford the cost of the trip/event if travelling via public
transport. Therefore overall if we were to do this as an even/trip it would be more feasible to travel
to this destination by road, either by a hired college and college mini-buses, as it would work out
cheaper, easier, more convenient, safer, quicker, more direct and more affordable for students
(the target customers this particular trip is aimed at).
The Overall distance from Wyke 6th Form College, Hull to the West Yorkshire Playhouse, Leeds is
approximately around 67.5 miles/101.4 km when travelling by road. This makes The West Yorkshire
Playhouse in Leeds much closer to Wyke 6th Form College, Hull than both the Lowry Theatre in
Salford and The Globe Theatre (Shakespeare) in London. Therefore a trip/event for students from
Wyke 6th Form College to The West Yorkshire Playhouse could work out much more feasible than
a trip/event to The Lowry Theatre or The Globe Theatre as its closer, easier to get too, more direct
to get to, could work out cheaper and more affordable and would allow students a longer amount of time
to spend in Leeds and The West Yorkshire Playhouse.

Diary Entry
Saturday 29th June 2013 - I completed my detailed research on the option of a planned trip/event to The Lowry Theatre in Salford, Manchester and how it would overall work as a tourist destination for the events project. I researched in detail its feasibility, location, price, appearance cost, contact details, information, comparisons, options and benefits for group visitors, itineraries for the day, other events and tourist destinations in the Salford Quays area which could be combined to make the most of the day trip, how the day trip would plan out, activities that would be relevant, beneficial and appropriate for the target audience age group of college students, the different shows/events at the Lowry at the time of the intended visit (Mid-October/October) and also the possibility of using questionnaires to get information from relevant subject teachers/students in order to establish what would be the most effective, relevant and beneficial trip/event to take students on. Overall I gathered and made the finishing touches on my Research of The Lowry Theatre and the surrounding area as a tourist destination in order to establish the feasibility of this trip throughout.
Planning a Trip to The Lowry Theatre (Salford Quays) ..
We would have our event in the middle of October as this would give us enough time to plan the trip successfully, would allow people to save up the money for the trip, would be at a sensible time in the academic year as its out the way of exam periods and would be off peak season and would therefore allow the trip to run at a cheaper cost.
Whats on @ The Lowry Theatre during the period we intend to go for our event trip...
^^Above Shows an image screen shot of The Lowry Theatre Webpage showing whats on the week 14th-20th October 2013. (The intended time of visit-Mid October)
Including productions/events that may be relevent for students such as:
-The Tin Ring (Drama)
-People (Drama- A National Theatre Production)
-John and Mark (Drama)
-After the Rainfall (Drama)
-2 Faced Dance Company: Out of his skin (Dance)
-Music and Special events with Daniel O'Donnel
-Comedy Performances from; Ells James and Chris Corcoran, Josh Widdicombe, Pat Shortt
(Events such as Under 5's family activities and perhaps Daniel O'donnel would not be relevent or of interest to Students as the family activities are for young children under 5 which is the wrong age group content for our Student target audience and Daniel O'donnel is much older singer and performer who's fans are predominantly more mature people, he is unkown to many of the student age group)
^^Above Shows an image screen shot of The Lowry Theatre Webpage showing whats on the week 21st-27th October 2013. (Near the intended time of visit-Mid October)
Including Productions/events that may be relevent to students such as:

Including Productions/events that may be relevent to students such as:
-The house that stank of death (Drama)
-Master and Margarita (Drama)
-A Clockwork Orange (Drama)
-The Michael Clark Company: All three at once (Drama)
(Music acts such as Alison Moyer and Jamie Cullum won't be of interest to many Students as there fans are predominantly older than students as they have been around for a long time and aren't modern acts however they could be relevant to music students if the content is appropriate, Family Activities/comedy kids club are targeted at under 5's/young children and therefore not appropriate for students, comedy acts like Andrew O'Neil are unlikly to be relevant or appropriate to student study)
Overall, as a team, me and Domanic have discussed that one of the best and most effective ways to find out which particular event/trip would be most appropriate to Student Study is to write up and send a questionnaire around to appropriate subject teachers in order to discover which will be the most feasible, relevant and benefitial trip for Student Study. Subject's that may benefit from a theatre trip, dependent on its content, are:
-Drama and Theatre Studies
-English Language
-English Literature
-Performing Arts
-Music
-History
-Dance
^^This information also suggests that a Theatre Trip would be a feasible event as it could be relevant and beneficial to many different types of Students.
^^As part of the Theatre Trip Event to The Lowry Theatre, it would be a good and feasible idea to combine watching a theatre show with other events/activities in order to make the trip/event as beneficial relevant and worth while as possible. A way to do this would be to visit one of the Exhibitions at the Lowry Theatre that is running at the time of the visit (Mid October/October). The Exhibitions Running at The Lowry at the time of the visit, as shown above are:
-Lowry Favourites Exhibition
-Defining Me: Musical Adventures in Manchester Exhibition
Depending on the Specific Students going, impacts upon how relevant the events/activities undertaken on the day. This is why a Questionnaire will be important in enabling us to gain this specific information in order to directly tailor to the needs of the specific students on the trip in order to make the trip as Feasible, Relevant and Benificial as possible.
Other Tourist Distinatiions near The Lowry Theatre that we could combine into our trip for Students to the The Lowry Theatre are:
-The Lowry Shopping Outlet
-Imperial War Museum North
-Media City UK & BBC Studios
-Lancashire County Cricket Club and Lodge
-Ordsall Hall
-Mersey Ferries
-Copthorne Hotel

Fee's..
When booking as a group there are no booking Fees. Group Booking's for more that 10 people work out cheaper, often 20% of the original ticket price per person. Students (who the visit is intended for) also class as concessions and get get around £5 of the original ticket price each. The price of an actual ticket depends on the particular show/event you go and watch. Prices of events/shows that may be relevant and beneficial to some students/subjects at Wyke 6th Form College (who the visit is intended for) and are running at The Lowry Theatre at the Time of the Intended visit (Mid-October/October 2013 time) predominantly cost around £15-£25 which is cheap for a Theatre Ticket and could be cheaper with conseesion and group discounts, but not as cheap as it would be standing at the Shakespeare's Globe Theatre which only costs £5. Its important for the trip/event to be of cheap cost to make it feasible for students to afford as students typically have a low income and less money than other groups of people/customers.

Friday 28th June 2013 - I started more detailed Research into the Lowry Theatre in Salford, Manchester as a tourist destination for our travel and tourism events project. I started to get more information and details about The Lowry Theatre and how this trip/event would be planned and would work such as the time period we would visit, appropriate activities for our chosen target customers - college students, what shows/productions/events are on at the Lowry at the time of intended visit, contact details, other events at the Lowry at the time of the intended trip like exhibitions and also collecting overall information, screen shots and details about the Lowry Theatre and from there official Web Page.

Thursday 27th June 2013 - I did some base research on The Lowry Theatre, Salford, Manchester to establish its feasibility as a tourist destination for the events project. I researched its appearance location, distance from Wyke 6th Form College (where the trip would be running from), contact details, methods of travel and how feasible different methods of travel would be for this particular planned event/trip.

^^About the use of the Lyric Theatre: "The Lyric Theatre is used throughout the year for drama, opera and ballet performances to name a few; and is often used by our corporate clients for events such as AGMs, sales conferences and presentations. Impressive in size, this modern and vibrant theatre can seat up to 1730 delegates, is fully air conditioned and the latest in audio-visual presentation technology can be provided."

^^About the use of the Quay's Theatre: "The Quays Theatre is an extremely adaptable space, providing an unusual setting for conferences, fashion shows and presentations. Its hydraulic technology allows a range of seating configurations to make your event more unique, such as catwalk, flat-floored or theatre in-the-round. Alternatively, the traditional end-stage setting proves popular for conferences for up to 440 people."
The Lowry Theatre is Located (address):
The Lowry,
Pier 8,
Salford Quays,
M50 3AZ
Contact details for The Lowry:
The Lowry is 10 minute drive from Manchester City Centre, 20 minutes from Manchester Airport, and a quarter of a mile from the motorway network, giving access from all over the North West and beyond.
From the M60 take junction 12 for the M602. The Quays is a quarter of a mile from junction 3 of the M602. Follow the brown Lowry logo signs.
Arial/Map location of The Lowry Theatre on google maps....
^^The above image is a map which should the location of Wyke 6th Form College, Hull, (Marked with a red star) and the location of The Lowry Theatre, Salford, Manchester (Marked with a black B/Green bubble and Underlined in red). In between these two destinations is a blue line which demonstrates one of the most fastest, easiest and convenient routes to travel from Wyke 6th Form College, Hull to the Lowry Theatre by Road. This map/image also demonstrates that if we were to take a group of students to an event/trip at the Lowry Theatre by road, either by coach or mini-bus (the most feasible, cheapest option for a large group of people travelling by road), that travelling this route through the M6 could take under 2 hours at around 1 hour 53 mins or could take upto nearly 2 hours 30 mins at around 2 hours 27 mins dependent on the contributing factors of traffic, time of day, vehicle and route. This route would mean travelling a distance of around 103 miles.
^^Anouther option of route and travel would be to travel by public transport. This map shows the location of Wyke 6th Form College, Hull and The Lowry Theatre, Salford, Manchester and one of the most direct route you could travel between the two locations using the public transport of Trains, buses, taxi's, metro services and walking. However this suggests that it would take longer to get to the Lowry from Wyke 6th Form College travelling by public transport at nearly 4 hours (around 3 hours, 58 mins) and would take less travelling by road using private, hired or college transport at less the two hours (around 1 hour 53 mins). This information are research suggests it could take more than twice as long to get to The Lowry from Wyke 6th Form College using public transport than it would travelling by road (hired coaches, college mini-buses). This map/image and research also gives the information that travelling by public transport between these two destinations would be complex and hard to organise as you would have to transfer from several different modes of transport like train to taxi to bus to walk to metro service which could also have health and saftey implications. Travelling by public transport between these two destinations would therefore also cost a lot of money, which may not be affordable by our target audience of students/young people who typically have a low income and can't afford to cost of expensive trips and travel. Therefore travelling by public transport from Wyke 6th Form College, Hull to the Lowry Theatre, Salford, Manchester would just not be at all feasible or practical for this particular event/trip.
Overall the most feasible method of transport for this event/trip would be by road in either a hired coach or college mini-buses (dependent on size of group being taken and availability of the transport at particular dates and times). This would be more feasible as it is cheaper, safer, more direct, easier, more convenient, affordable and more plausible to organise and arrange.
The overall distance between The Lowry Theatre and Wyke 6th Form College is approcimatly 105 miles/170 km (by road).

Wednesday 26th June 2013 - I did further, more detailed research on the Shakespeare Globe Theatre as a tourist destination, for the events project. I explored how the Shakespeare Globe theatre would work as a trip/event and the concept of planning a trip to the Globe Theatre for students. I researched location, contact details, ticket prices, activities, exhibitions, different options of activities for a day out, most feasible dates and times to visit, seating plan, different shows available to watch, its appearance, its opportunity's how to get there, how relevant it would be to students and the overall feasibility of this trip.
Planning an event at the Globe Theatre
We would have our event in the middle of October as this would give us enough time to plan the trip successfully, would allow people to save up the money for the trip, would be at a sensible time in the academic year as its out the way of exam periods and would be off peak season and would therefore allow the trip to run at a cheaper cost.
^^The image shows the Globe Theatre Website and what's on at the Globe Theatre at the moment and for the foreseeable future.
The productions and plays that would be on at the time of the intended visit/event (October) are:
-A Midsummer Nights Dream, by Shakespeare.
-Macbeth, by Shakespeare.
-Blue Stockings, by Jessica Swale.
-Setting the Scene, A Globe Actors Production.
-The Lightening Child, by Chè Walker.
^^Most of these plays and productions are predominantly on at the begining - middle of October.
The production's and play's are usually performed at 2pm (matinèe) and 7pm (evening) although it does vary. I suggest that this event/ trip would consist of seeing a matinèe performance in the afternoon and perhaps in the morning we could arrange to participate in one of the Globe Theatre's, Tour and Expedition events to complement the visit and develop students knowledge and add to the educational aspect of the trip/event.
The Exhibition and Globe Theatre Tour event which seems most relevant and suitable to College Students due to its maturer nature and approach usually happens at 9am-12:30pm on the day of plays and performances, this would be a suitable edition to the trip and create a feasible day trip for students as well allow time for lunch in between activities. However this could have a negative effect on the trip too, as it could mean an early start for students/customers participating in the event/trip.
Another Idea would be to go on a day trip at the Weekend as firstly this means students won't have to miss out on any of there college lessons, studies and education and secondly it will allow students a full day out as well as allowing them to also visit the Globes Expedition which explores the life of Shakespeare and the London where he lived. This particular event also only happens on weekends and starts at 12:30pm which means students either don't have to get up so early or can do this activity plus the tour activity and see and evening performance at 7pm instead (a full day out). I propose the most feasible days for this to happen are on either of these dates:
Saturday 5th October 2013
Sunday 6th October 2013
Saturday 12th October 2013
Sunday 13th October 2013
Example of Events on the Weekend as shown on the Globe Theatres Website:

Information on how to plan a group event/visit to the Globe Theatre and
the various different options the Globe Theatre offers to its customers.
I feel that the most feasable, cheap and benifial thing to go is go and see a play
or performance relevent to the student studies as well as this being the main purpose of
visiting a thetare too. This could be done at a cheap price. If we choose to watch the play or performance from the yard it was be more authentic, allow us a better view and be cheaper overall at only £5 per person which is a lot cheaper than at many other theatre performances and is also cheaper than sitting up in the Galleries of the Globe Theatre which is know to have a worse view and be hard to see from and you end up paying around £25-£50 for a ticket and therefore watching a performance/play from the yard would be the most feasible thing to do. Making this trip affordable to the Students were targeting this event/trip towards. Here is the Shalespeare Globes Theatre Seating Plan showing the yard and Galleries:  Real Life images of the audience areas seating/staning plan, both galleries and yard:   |
