The three night event, which begins tonight and runs until Thursday, will see dancers, singers and young musicians taking to the big Guild Hall stage to show off their talents.

Many of the area’s school choirs and recorder groups will be taking part and their little members have been practising for weeks in the run up to their big moment.
