Gifted students from Stagecoach Performing Arts in Evesham brought the festive spirit to Cheltenham Town Hall as they sang, danced and performed a range of festive classics.

Some 14 students between the ages of seven and 14 performed a spectacular piece inspired by Once Upon a time in Christmas Town and used songs from the musical Elf.

Family, friends, and other guests were also able to enjoy a plethora of festive performances by students from other Stagecoach Performing Arts schools, including young performers from across the Midlands, Worcestershire and Gloucester.

Stagecoach Evesham principal, Charmaine Brumby, said: “The students had a fabulous day and we were so proud of their performance.

"For some of the children it was their first time performing in a big event like this and the absolutely loved it.

"They had worked so hard all term on this piece and it was great to see the range of ages working together as a team.”

Stagecoach Performing Arts opened its first school 35 years ago and, since then, it has seen more than one million students unlock their creative potential. 

Early stages classes are available for children aged four to six and main stages classes take place for six to 18-year-olds every weekend during term time.
