WITH SCHOOL out for summer, Artrix’s Family Fun Festival will soon be getting under way with a packed first week.
From Monday (July 25) to next Friday (July 29) there will be a Back to the 60s stage school. The fun-packed week of singing and dancing will lead up to a full-scale theatre show on the Friday, led by Mel Dykes, Artrix’s Youth Theatre director.

Next Friday (July 29), the Club Creative Day will be Film Friday. The full day of creative fun – suitable for those aged between seven and 11 – will take place from 10am to 4pm and is £30 and those who go along may even get to star in their own film.
Other activities include a movie characters pottery work from 10am to midday and between 1pm and 3pm (£5 admission), Magic Russ between 10.30am and 11.15am (£5/£4 concessions), the UNlimited Dance Workshop with Fi Hay between 1pm and 2pm (£5) and the talent show from 2pm to 3pm – entry to that is free.
