THE cast of this year’s Osmington Christmas Show promise an extravaganza of mirth, magic, music and illusions in the Osmington village hall on Friday and Saturday, December 5 and 6.

The annual show has a reputation for staging fast-moving performances packed with hilarious comedy and local talent.

This year, director Iain Campbell promises an even more awe-inspiring finale. There will also be a return from the pupils of the Mercury Dance Academy in Weymouth.

The Saturday children’s matinee now has some tickets at only £3 but the Saturday evening show sold out weeks ago.

There are still seats available for the Friday show at 7.30pm and tickets cost £7.50 plus concessions from Nigel Hunt, Orchard Cottage, Chapel Lane, Osmington Weymouth, call 01305 832886.
