IN a departure from their usual fare, a group from the Hereford Gilbert and Sullivan Society have taken time out from rehearsals for Patience to bring you an evening with a difference. Musical director Alan Durman has put together a 'cracker of a show'. Enjoy a free glass of mulled wine and a mince pie during a cabaret-style evening of seasonal favourites with a twist.

Tickets for the show on Friday, December 4 at 7.30pm in Hereford Town Hall are available from The Outback in Church Street (01432 275063), from members of the society and on the door.
