A COMEDY club for kids and a live talk with a famous food author are just some of the events coming to a theatre in Weston Rhyn.

The new Holyrood Community Theatre, on the ground of Moreton Hall school, is now offering its first programme of live events and will be hosting a number of events.

With Rick Stein confirmed for an event in conjunction with Booka Bookshop, in Church Street, on Thursday, September 23, there will be a performance from Comedy Club 4 Kids on Saturday, October 16.

The performance will begin at 2pm and is set to provide an afternoon of laughter for children aged six and onwards, and promises to keep the adults entertained too.

Michael Jenkins, commercial director, said: “We are thrilled to be able to offer a variety of different events this autumn, and can not wait to see the theatre full of people from our community.

"We have worked closely with the community over the past few years to understand how they would like to use the venue.

"We hope that our programme of events will have something for everyone.”

The Holroyd Community Theatre also has activities to take part in, playing host to community initiatives such as Face2Face Performance Academy, which is an academy for young people to develop their performance skills, delivered by professionals.

It also hosts North Shropshire Music: A series of musical ensembles, committed to developing the musical skills of young people and The Creative Arts School Project which is a programme that invites local schools into the theatre to take part in creative arts sessions, delivered by specialist staff.
