Have you ever thought you could be the next West End star in Les Mis or Lion King? It could be your chance to start that dream this summer.

Fairfield Halls are putting on their Theatre Summer School during the summer holidays.

There will be two separate courses running in August, which are aimed at students aged six to 16.

This is the third time the summer school has taken place and it has proven to be very popular for those wanting to try out a bit of acting.

Over five days the students will be taught singing, acting and dance in an educational, fun and rewarding week.

At 2.30pm on Friday parents and friends are invited to a free final day ‘Showcase’, a presentation of the students work from the week.

A Fairfield Halls spokeswoman says: "The course give students tuition in the main disciplines of performance, and provide the opportunity to work with industry professionals in a professional environment.

"It will also help develop their confidence, teamwork, trust and self discipline."
