STUDENTS at Hampton Dene Primary School took part in a free music and drama workshop when cast members of the Hereford Gilbert and Sullivan Society visited their school.

Musical director, Alan Durman led the session which involved the children dressing up, singing, dancing and acting out the story of Patience, the comic musical by duo Gilbert and Sullivan.

Some 300 school children will attend the special school's matinee on March 16 having participated in free workshops at their school in advance.

There is still time for schools to book. Tickets for students at all performances are £5 and can be booked at courtyard.org.uk. Patience is at The Courtyard and runs from March 16-19 at 7.30pm with an additional matinee on March 19.
