A community-led talent contest which helps support youngsters in and around Beccles is set to make a welcome return.

A mix of singers, dancers and musicians will appear at Beccles Public Hall this Saturday for the ‘Young Talent @ the Hall’ show.

The show, showcasing the very best talents of those ages 11 to 17, will be hosted by Beccles crooner Tom Elgie.

A spokesman for the Hall said: “With Tom Elgie hosting the evening, there is sure to be some great banter and songs in store in addition to songs from some of the contestants.”

A selection of local performers will act as judges on the evening with pianist Ian Sainsbury, actress Agnes Lillis, cartoonist Mark Reynolds and choreographers Lizzie Stanley, Lauren Smith and Claire Welham all taking on the role.

Tickets to the event, costing £5, are available from the hall box office, by calling 01502 770 060 or visiting www.becclespublichall.org
