Events this week in Tameside

Tameside Council’s Theatre Arts team is supporting the borough’s first ever 24 hour Play Festival. 

Could be car-crash, could be a classic, but one thing’s for sure it will be an exciting 24 hours for Hyde Festival Theatre.

A group of 24 local and regional based actors (professional and amateur), six writers and six directors will meet for the first time at 10pm on Friday September 3.

After being split into six mini-theatre production companies, comprising of four actors, a writer and director, the groups will have less than 24 hours to write, rehearse and perform an original play.

Doors to the Festival Theatre will open at 7pm and at 7.30pm the curtain will rise on, hopefully, six mini-master pieces! 

For information on Tameside’s Theatre Arts Working Group ring Vanessa Rothwell, Theatre Arts Officer on 0161 342 4144.

Fundraising event for Willow Wood Hospice.

Magnificent marrows, spectacular Victoria sponges and fantastic photographs are just some of the handiwork that will be on display for next weekend’s Tameside Horticultural Show.

But it’s not just for gardeners as there are classes for vegetables and a wide variety of flowers as well as photography, art, handicrafts and bakery. There are specific classes for children, but they can also enter any of the general classes.

The deadline for entries is 3pm, Thursday 2 September. You can get full details of the show on jessica.brooks@tameside.gov.uk

The prizes for the best exhibits will be awarded by the Civic Mayor Cllr Jean Brazil at 2pm on the Sunday.
