CIVIC ARTS CENTRE

- LAUREN STIRZAKER

SUMMER is on its way out now and the nights are drawing in, the new events guides are out and we are busy with Halloween preparatio­ns!

There are a number of profession­al shows coming up throughout the month of October, kicking off on Friday, October 6, with A Vision of Elvis, the fantastic and popular Autumn Craft Fair on Saturday 8, and David Holt, the brilliant spirit medium back by popular demand on Friday 13.

We also have a range of community performanc­es and in-house produced shows. Our array of Halloween celebratio­ns begin on Friday, October 27, and Saturday, October 28, with Dramatic Annie’s production of A Nightmare Before Christmas.

We have sold-out performanc­es of Room on the Broom. We also have A Halloween Party at Hippings Vale Community Centre on Sunday, October 29, and another party and storytime session at the Civic on Tuesday, October 31. Full details for all of these can be found on our website (civicartsc­entre. co.uk).

We have had so many clubs start this month, both at the Civic and Hippings Vale, and it has been lovely to see the centre getting busier with more things to do for adults in the evenings such as sewing, languages, painting, play readings and creative writing. Also on Monday, October 16, our new monthly book club starts.

We also have some new groups for children, including a new Friday Drama Club which is from 4pm to 5.30pm for ages eight to 14 and a new Baby Messy Play session which runs from 10am to 11am every Friday.

There is so much going on at the Civic, I often struggle to choose which ones to highlight! Please check out our website for a full listing of events, sessions, clubs and community events. The Civic Arts Centre and Theatre, is at 155-157 Union Road, Oswaldtwis­tle, BB5 3HZ. Phone 01254 398319.
