Wells Community Theatre will give a preview of its new production of A Christmas Carol at Wells Christmas Market before the show opens at Wookey Hole Theatre.

The cast will perform carols from the production at Wells Town Hall between 10am and 11am on Saturday, 12 December.

The group's adaptation of Charles Dickens' story will run at Wookey Hole Theatre from 17 to 20 December. Adapted by local writer Richard Crowe, the family show is suitable for audiences aged eight and over.

Ros Johnson, artistic director of Wells Theatre Festival, said: "This version of A Christmas Carol is a riot! It will entertain you and perhaps spook you just a little bit but it certainly get you in the Christmas spirit!"

Wells Community Theatre is an ensemble made up of local people. Established in 2018, it works with a professional creative team. Wells Theatre Festival says the group's productions have played to sold-out audiences.

Tickets are selling fast, according to the festival. More information and booking details are available at wellstheatrefestival.org.
