Running from December 1-30 at venues across the Harrogate district and further afield in the county, Badapple Theatre Company will be performing Farmer Scrooge’s Christmas Carol at Tockwith Village Hall this weekend, initially, before moving on.
Harrogate writer Kate Bramley and her itinerant band of actors will then be bringing the festive show to a raft of smaller local Yorkshire venues.

She said: “It always wonderful to spend a joyous evening with Badapple Theatre Company in a small rural village hall.
"Kate Bramley is absolutely fulfilling her ambition to bring the arts into the community and the uplifting effect on the audience of what the theatre company does is palpable.
"It is hard to overestimate the positive benefits of getting out of the house and attending a joyful, inexpensive, communal event in your own locality.”
