There's still two full days of amazing events to enjoy in Dorchester Festival...
After last night's pulsating sell-out gigs with Groanbox and the extraordinary Kanda Bongo Man band, Festival Sunday kicks off at noon in laid back mode with chilled out tunes, storytelling and small scale theatre in the Borough Gardens.
Bestselling author Salley Vickers invites you to tea and talk at 5pm in the Corn Exchange and later in Charlton Down's Herrison Hall we present one newspaper's "must see" event in the region this bank holiday - our comedy night with the amazing Gina Yashere - fresh from an appearance with Trevor Nelson on Radio 1 extra - and a bonus 45 minute set from double Grammy Award winning Lekan Babalola and his Afro beat trio - Doors open 7.30 at Herrison Hall - Don't miss them!
The tempo picks up again on Monday with some of our great youth bands, the infectious music of Bulawayo with joyous Ndebele and shona vocals and a comedy walk through the Pleasure Garden with the hilarious Hoodwink.
Singers are invited to join in an at all day Opera workshop and premiere at St Mary's Church of The Cask of Amontillado, an exciting new community opera, and at Dorchester Arts, there's a chance to take part in African song, dance and drumming with members of Bulawayo - Sing, Bang, Bop!
For young children, leading children's theatre company Tell Tale Hearts bring their new show Spacehoppers to the Corn Exchange at 12noon and 3.30pm.
Company Theatre, present two contrasting one-act plays at the Kings Arm: 'The Nurse's Tale' at 3pm a Romeo and Juliet follow on story with hugely comic nurse and Reggae music followed at 7pm by 'Farbeit' - a dark and poignant comedy featuring local actor, Chris Gallarus. The 3pm children's show includes a Shakespeare workshop.
