Golden jubilee concert

BOURTON-on-the-Water's Victoria Hall will be the venue for a Golden Jubilee concert marking the 50th year of the Queen's reign.

Bourton-on-the-Water Panto Group will stage the concert, entitled Elizabeth R, at the Victoria Street venue at 7.30pm daily until Saturday, August 3.

Cotswold Choral Society will also perform at the concert, to feature songs and music popular at the time of the death of King George VI, the Queen's father, and Her Majesty's coronation in 1952.

The show will involve amateur performers off all ages, with one section featuring children singing the songs of Hans Christian Anderson.

Janet Harwood, the group's publicity officer, said: "It's a great show and a tribute to the Queen."

The 25-year-old group annually stages a summer show and a winter pantomime.

Tickets cost £5.50, with concessions at £4.50, except on the Saturday when they will cost £6 and £5 for concessions.

These can be bought by telephoning Victoria Hall's box office on 07930 634717 between 10am and 3pm from Monday to Saturday.
