GARNSWLLT hall is set to welcome back theatre company Farnham Maltings, as they bring a heart-warming Christmas story to the village.

It’s a Wonderful Life is a play set in the 1940s, and tells the story of George Bailey, a middle aged clerk who discovers the difference he has made to his family, his friends and his home town – with a little help from Clarence, the apprentice angel.

Director Gavin Stride said, “Not only is it one of my favourite stories but it feels really important, now more than ever, to be celebrating the effect, big or small, we all make within our communities and homes.

"Our hope is that people will feel that they have spent an evening in the company of new friends."

The show takes place on Friday January 9 at 7.30pm.
