A LIVELY evening of dance, music and visual arts takes place in and around the historic ruins of Witley Court over the next three nights.

DanceFest, a Worcester-based agency, will present Dreams and Ruin, an event involving more than 200 community and professional performers. Acclaimed dancers from Motion House Dance Theatre and ACE Dance and Music are set to perform with help from choreographer, Angela Woodhouse, and composer, Sophy Smith.

Worcester Arts Workshop and Angel Dance Co Lab are also involved, as well as several schools.

The event, opening tonight and running until Saturday, features the history of Witley Court, its surrounding characters and local stories, through dancers, artists and musicians.

Each performance starts at 7.30pm and the curtain will rise on Saturday's matinee at 3pm. Call 01299 896636 to book tickets.
