A theatre group is set to perform two plays to raise money for a former member taking on a charity cycling challenge.

Shipham Players in Somerset will support Esme Hotston Moore's charity fundraising through performances of the one act plays on June 6, 7, and 8.

The two comedy plays, both written by David Tristram, will take centre stage at Shipham Village Hall at 7.30pm.

'The Fat Lady Sings in Little Grimley', the first in the popular Grimley series, will be followed by Inspector Drake's 'Murder On A Budget’.

Ms Hotston Moore set out on a solo cycling journey from her home village of Shipham to Singapore.
