Milborne Port Opera will be performing Gilbert & Sullivan’s Iolanthe at the MILBORNE PORT Village Hall from Wednesday 3rd to Saturday 6th April at 7.30 pm.

The show stars MPO regulars Jessie Copper and Lloyd Davies with powerful support from Andrew Armstrong, Sarah Bignell, Mark Blackham and James Craw and introduces Gemma Kiddle as Iolanthe.

The Topsy Turvy  and satirical plot about Fairies taking over the Government and threatening the existence of the House of Lords is full of wonderful music and as relevant today as when it was written.

An 11 piece orchestra under the Direction of Peter Mumford will support the action on stage and enhance the choral singing for which MPO has become justifiably renowned.

All performances start at 7.30pm. Tickets, priced at £10 with concessions available at £8 on Wednesday and Thursday only.

Box Office 07926 983585 (please leave a message if there is no reply) or tickets@milborneportopera.co.uk. If you’re in Milborne Port, tickets are also available from Wayne’s butcher’s shop or the Post Office.

Stop Press. Holbrook House hotel,  Wincanton have generously donated a free day using the gym, pool  and classes at their leisure centre to those attending Iolanthe at Milborne Port. But you have to produce  a copy of the programme, only obtainable at the show, to take part! Why not make Iolanthe a part of your spring fitness programme?

Following the success of Curry nights, Tuesday is now Fish night at the Half Moon.

For an incredible £6.50 you  can enjoy a choice of exotic fish dishes.

The menu for the opening night on 19 March includes prawn and samphire risotto, spicy mackerel, and baji-battered hake and chips. If that’s too much on the wild side, then there’s plain old English fish and chips with no frills.

The promotion will run until the end of April.

Tuesday has become a bit of a social evening for the village, and often all comers sit at a communal table and swap gossip and jokes. But if you want to eat alone, it’s up to you.

Hi Horsington Blog,
I attend a Zumba class at Templecombe Social Club on a Wednesday night 6.45pm till 7.45pm. It is ran by a lovely lady called Jude Edge. Classes are only £4 per class or if you buy 10 only £30. Jude is a lovely lady and I feel everyone should know about the wonderful class she holds there, are you able to add to your monthly list of activities in around Horsington.

I would be very grateful.
Kind regards,
Claire Hart
