THE autumn series of events planned for a newly refurbished village hall will get under way on Saturday.

Members of the Northern Opera will be at Hutton Rudby Village Hall, near Stokesley, from 7.30pm.

They will perform songs from classic 1950s and 60s musical shows. Tickets cost £6 and are available by calling (01642) 701586.

The hall reopened in November last year following a £400,000 refit. The number of people using the building has risen dramatically since the work was finished.

Previously, the hall had an average of 14,500 user visits a year, but in the first six months of this year, there have been 12,500 users.

The hall will host children's musical Score on September 9 at 7pm and on September 10 at 2pm and 7pm. Tickets cost £6 for adults and £3 for children and are available by calling (01642) 700449.

A murder mystery dinner will be held on September 23 at 7pm. Tickets cost £15 and can be reserved by calling (01642) 700449.

On September 28, there will be an antiques evening with Adam Schoon. The event starts at 7.30pm and tickets are available at the door.
