Autumn events at a newly-refurbished village hall will get under way on Saturday.

Members of Northern Opera will perform songs from 1950s and 1960s musical shows at Hutton Rudby Village Hall, near Stokesley, from 7.30pm. Tickets cost £6 from (01642) 701586.

The hall reopened last November following a £400,000 refit, and the number of people using the building has risen dramatically.

Previously, the hall had an average of 14,500 visits by users each year, but in the first six months of this year, there had already been 12,500.

The hall will host the children's musical Score on Friday, September 9, at 7pm, and on September 10, at 2pm and 7pm. Tickets cost £6 for adults, £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 include a three-course meal, available on (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.
