A NATIONAL theatre group will bring a special brand of Christmas to Whitchurch this year.

Neil Sands and his West End cast are taking a festive afternoon trip back down memory lane, with their show Christmas Memories which will be appearing at Whitchurch Civic Centre as part of its seven-week nationwide tour.

Joining Neil for this feast of festive music and fun is TV star Chelsea Turnbull and international cabaret star Helen Farrell.

The show will also feature backing from the Golden Times

Described as 'a sparkly Christmas card come to life', the show features a shimmering stage set, beautiful Christmas trees, glittering fairy lights, and even falling snow.

Whitchurch town cnetre manager Zoë Dean says that the show is something that can be enjoyed by everyone.

“This is the second visit for Christmas Memories to our venue and we’ve had a really great response so far," said Zoë.

"It is such a lovely afternoon show and can be enjoyed by everyone. The stage decorations and costumes are just beautiful.”
