It was the culmination of a summer school workshop for singers, dancers and musicians from the district and further afield, including Cambridge and King's Lynn.

And Murder at Party Palace, saw children aged between seven and 14 perform a play they devised themselves.

She said the play was warmly received by friends and family.
