Summer Evening Medley: August 2024
The North Norfolk Players were delighted to perform at St Mary, Burgh Parva near Melton Constable, Norfolk as part of a Summer Evening Medley on Saturday 3 August 2024. The event was organised by The Friends of St Mary, Burgh Parva and All Saints, Briston Churches in aid of the fascinating tin tabernacle building.
The evening included live music from The Fen Follies and traditional vocalist Sophie Van der Louw, as well as local summer history stories of times gone by written for the evening by James Ramsey, all washed down with ale kindly donated by All Day Brewing of Salle Moor Farm.
