A Winchester theatre group is celebrating after a fundraising night brought in £20,000.

Staff from The Blue Apple Theatre said they were delighted at the result of The Blue Apple Ball at Winchester’s Great Hall.

The evening featured performances from the theatre group, which is made up of actors with learning disabilities, plus an auction and a raffle.

The theatre’s next event will be a production of The Snow Queen from December 12 to 14 at 7.30pm at the Tower.
