CONGLETON'S Daneside Theatre has announced a Spring season packed with performances, films and music.
A spokesman for the theatre said: "Once again, bookings have exceeded our expectations, and we have a packed few months of excellent shows.
"We are pleased to have been able to reserve one Sunday a month especially for cinema, and in collaboration with Staffordshire Reels On Wheels, we will be bringing some of the best available films to Congleton.
"We are starting off the year with the latest Harry Potter in January, and Lord of the Rings in February. Professional music again features prominently, with welcome returns by Blue Tapestry and the B'Eagles and a first visit from Music of the Night.
"Macclesfield King's School Big Band are also first time visitors, appearing in aid of the Town Mayor's Charities. One of their recent successes was a concert in the Bridgewater Hall for King's recent anniversary celebrations."
The spokesman added: "We have touring theatre shows from M6, Horse & Bamboo , Jasperian theatre and Hull Truck. We are especially pleased to be able to be able to present Hull Truck with their new play 'Albert Nobbs'. This is a company that we've been after for some time.
"These are in addition to all the regular local amateur and dancing school shows. You can be assured that there is something for everyone in the coming season."
Tickets for most shows are available over the phone, more information from Congeton Tourist Information Centre on 01260 271095, or on the theatre's website at http://www.danesidetheatre.co.uk
