OAKHAM FOOD DRINK & CRAFT FAIR AND MUSIC FESTIVAL
MEMORIES OF THE MUSICALS AT KILWORTH HOUSE
It’s all going on in Oakham this month as the town hosts its Food, Drink & Craft Fair and music festival.
Memories of the Musicals is a full-length show featuring the very best songs from every one of the nineteen musicals produced at Kilworth House Theatre since the theatre opened in 2007. Six stars of the West End stage will sing and dance their way through more than fifty songs from Kilworth’s back-catalogue supported by a live orchestra on stage. There will be songs from all-time musical theatre classics such as My Fair Lady, West Side Story and The Sound of Music as well as more recent work such as Little Shop of Horrors, Joseph and Cats.
The former takes place at the Rutland Showground and provides family fun with food, drink and crafts both on the showground and inside in the Pavilion. Meanwhile, the town will also host its music festival at Cutt’s Close Park, and at Grainstore Brewery to coincide with the Rutland Beer Festival. The events are organised in conjunction with the Rutland Showground and Oakham Town Council n See www.discover-rutland.co.uk.
