Events - April 2011 |

We're always happy to promote local (and even not-so-local) amateur drama - well, why, not: it's what we do, after all!
This is from the George Inn at Felpham, who are running a competition day. The promotional text and contact details are all given below. Existing, or would-be, actors might like to consider taking to the boards for some serious declaiming.
Please do not contact us about this event, as we are not affiliated to the Inn in any way and cannot assist with queries or tickets.
