Got mela at Normanton park . First the ticket office said we don’t need to buy ticket for Saturday , you need for Sunday . We purchased the ticket for Sunday which was free but when we went on Saturday to see the mela we were not allowed to go in as we don’t have ticket . The park was full but mela was totally empty as they got barriers where the mela was . Rather than £2000 people purchased the ticket only £200 people is there .

I have seen many versions of this story over the years...from the RSC with Ade Edmondson to one with a cast of 3 doing all the parts but this has to be one of the best! Firstly the music from the very outset was magical with live musicians jigging and dancing but also playing a part in setting the mood of the scene. The set was wonderful and imaginative and worked well in every scene. All the actors were believable and played all their part with equal enthusiasm ...the children were so professional and natural. But the part that took me the most was where Belle give Scrooge his ring back ...you could have heard a pin drop in the audience it was so moving and captivating! So ...if you want an evening of the best local entertainment...go to Derby Theatre and see A Cristmas Carol,...
