A CELEBRATION of a certain age will be taking place with The Ladies of Cranford this weekend.

The Hunts Roberts Theatre is performing a miniature version of Mrs Gaskell's Cranford at the Harlequin Theatre in Queen Street, Northwich, this Saturday, September 29.

It is set in a small market town in the early years of Queen Victoria's reign and tells the story of Miss Matty Kenkyns and her friends - ladies of a certain age and a certain position in society.

Actors Val Elliot and Rachel Laurence will be performing the energetic and moving show in modern dress, incorporating actual magic tricks.

The show starts at 7.45pm and tickets priced £5 or £4 concessions, are available from Northwich library or by ringing DAN on 01606 41597.
