WILTSHIRE Creative Academy is recruiting more students who would like to develop their skills in a professional arts environment.

The academy students brought joy to three groups this week with a festive performance of Aesop's Fables which they had adapted for children as part of their studies. 

The three performances took place on Tuesday, 12 December, with the first performance at Wyndham Park Infant's School, and at the Salisbury Playhouse where they performed to home-educated young people and then finally, put on a show for friends and family in the evening.
