This really is going to be a fantastic show. We hope you have your tickets as…

In a new first for the Wayfarers, a radio advert will be heard around Taunton to promote Beauty and the Beast. Taunton’s local radio station, Tone FM, is running the advert through December and into January.

Here are some pictures from the…

Were you there? Did you see us? A small band of VERY EXCITED Wayfarers joined Taunton Carnival to promote Beauty and the Beast. This was not about awards or prizes, it was about being there, being involved and having some fun. Oh, and letting Taunton know we are back at the Brewhouse! So we might have run out of fliers on the night, but with 35,000 about to be distributed around Taunton during November, it was about being seen as…
