Join them for a magical evening of entertainment as they march to the beat of town pride.

Creating unforgettable memories for audiences and performers alike, the show will weave together a medley of theatre and live music.

And joining the students as comrades-in-arms on a mission to offer spine-tingling performances is folk band, Harp and a Monkey.

The Manchester group was deemed “bold and brilliant” in The Observer and “sensational” by Clare Balding on BBC Radio 2’s Good Morning Sunday.
