THE Friends Of The Playhouse have released their upcoming events and activities for 2023.

The theatre, which is located on 126-130 High Street, continues to hold their regular Saturday Coffee Mornings from 10am. Residents, whether they be members or not, can enjoy biscuits and hot drinks. There will be committee members on hand to answer any questions that you may have about the theatre.

A spokesperson said: "The coffee mornings are open to members and non members so if you are passing the theatre on a Saturday morning you will be made most welcome."

Speaking back in January, when The Friends Of The Playhouse held their first coffee morning of the year, the group added: "The coffee mornings form a big part of our fundraising efforts throughout the year so please support them."
