Brierley Hill Bed and Breakfast
Brierley Hill Bed and Breakfast is a romantic Virginia bed and breakfast country inn located just five minutes from historic Downtown Lexington in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Brierley Hill was built in 1993 as a quiet Shenandoah Valley haven for the weary traveler and a romantic getaway from the workaday world. Named for the antique clock that graces the entryway, this lovely Lexington, Virginia inn is the epitome of laid-back luxury and Southern grace.

Being on the outskirts of the Shenandoah Valley, nature is ever present at the inn. You will likely see deer crossing the lower fields in the early morning and enjoy the antics of the mockingbirds. Perhaps the foxes will make an appearance during your stay. If you visit between April and October, our hummingbirds will delight you. They flit in and out of the verandah posts, dipping into the feeders and chasing one another around and around.
Songbirds are everywhere — a portion of the front field is left wild to encourage them, and feeders by the garden keep them coming back. The chipmunks also like the feeders; they steal the sunflower seeds and plant them in the garden for our enjoyment in late summer.
Brierley Hill is a hiker- and backpacker-friendly bed and breakfast catering to persons with all levels of experience; from Appalachian Trail through-hikers to weekend enthusiasts.

4D Mark Nizer Show comes to Wayne Theatre
Entertainment comedian and juggler Mark Nizer presents his One-Man Show on Friday, May 20, at 7 p.m. at the Wayne Theatre/Ross Performing Arts Center in downtown Waynesboro.
The show features a combination of original comedy, world class juggling, movement, music and technology that promises a spellbinding evening.
“The Wayne Theatre could not be more thrilled to have Mark Nizer coming to the stage,” said Tracy Straight, executive director of the Wayne Theatre. “This is the first time families will get to experience 4D in our theatre.”
The 4D show is the only show in the world that incorporates 4D glasses in a live show. Using these special glasses, light is converted to depth which adds a fourth dimension to our normal 3D world.
“The technology associated with this show is unbelievable,” said Straight. “The performance will really feel like it’s taking place out into the audience.”
Whether juggling laser beams at 1000 rpms, or five ping pong balls being thrown 20 feet in the air using only his mouth; or even juggling a burning propane tank, a running electric carving knife and a 16-pound bowling ball, you’ll discover for yourself why Nizer has been called “nothing less than brilliant” by Performance Magazine.
“The Wayne continues to bring nationally known artists to the area,” said Straight. “Nizer has opened for Jerry Seinfeld, Bob Hope, George Burns, Ray Charles, and now Waynesboro.”
Nizer has taken his one-man show to thousands of venues around the world. He has been on MTV, HBO’s Just for Laughs, and Comic Strip Live.
Tickets are available for $12.50 and $16.50 to the 7 p.m. show. Two matinee shows will also be offered as part of the Wayne’s Arts Education programming. Tickets to the earlier shows are only $7.50 per person.
