THE fascinating past of Witley Court is celebrated in Dreams and Ruin, a three-day festival of dance, the visual arts and music.

County schoolchildren are working alongside professional artists and performers to create the event, a promenade performance around the court's spectacular ruins and gardens.

Performances are from Thurs-day to Saturday, June 16-18, at 7.30pm, with an extra 3pm show on Saturday.

Tickets, priced £10 and £8, are available from 01299 896636.

Volunteers, who must be 16 or over, are also being sought as stewards for the event.

Anyone who can help should call Malvern Volunteer Centre on 01684 580638 or email malvern@care4free.net.
