A performing arts academy for young people is due to open later this month in Bedfont.

Tale Be Told Theatre company - set up by actress, writer and drama facilitator Terri Ann Bailey in 2013 - will launch the Young Performers Academy at Southville Community Centre on February 25.

It has been set up to give young people, aged between seven and 11 who are interested in dance, drama and singing, the chance to show off their skills and learn new ones.

The amateur drama group will provide young people with a taster of what it is like to be part of the theatre world through workshops, performances and classes.

Children will also have the chance to take part in shows which will be performed to parents and people in the community.

Workshops will be held every Wednesday and led by professionally trained actors.
