Half-term workshops

Schools will be closed again next week – not due to snow, this time – and many parents will be looking for activities to keep the kids happy. The Playhouse may have the answer with a number of drama and musical theatre workshops.

Focus Theatre
From Monday 16 – Thursday 19 February, Sheila Mander will be holding several workshops, with classes running at different times depending on ages.
