North Walsham variety show fun

Budding performers will get the chance to tread the boards at a town talent show.

Arts North Norfolk is organising two big talent and variety shows at the Atrium theatre on Spenser Avenue, North Walsham, on Saturday June 27.

The shows will come towards the end of an ambitious North Walsham Festival week being held in the town by the arts charity.

Joseph Ballard, director of Arts North Norfolk, said: 'The North Walsham Festival is about celebrating talent, both local and from afar. The talent show is a great way to encourage everyone of all ages to get involved.

'We'll mix some variety acts among the talent show entries to create a big show for North Walsham – come and support local talent and have a great time in some good company.'

The shows will be staged at 4pm and 7.30pm on June 27 and auditions for entrants will be held beforehand. All ages are welcome.

If you fancy taking part as a singer, musician, comedian, dancer, magician, juggler, speciality act or almost anything else – or just want to see the shows - contact Arts North Norfolk at No. 1, Market Place, North Walsham, on 01692 218060, or download an entry form at www.artsnorthnorfolk.org

Tickets to see either of the shows are £6 (concessions £5). Call 01692 218060 or visit www.artsnorthnorfolk.org to book.

The first variety show at the Atrium was held in 2013.
