Our apologies. Joanna Neary was coming to Ashburton from Eastbourne for an evening show on Saturday 7 May, and for this show on Sunday morning.
Unfortunately, the cam belt on her car broke – and with a car load of family and set and props, it was impossible to continue the journey. So this show on Sunday morning isn’t happening. Elvis Mcgonagall is replacing her on Saturday evening.
Apologies to all the children – she will be back!
Thanks for your understanding and patience.
