For any enquiries please contact THS Secretary - Tracy Hayes - info@hardysociety.org

*** Due to concerns surrounding the Coronavirus situation the section that was to be performed inside Stinsford Church will now take place outside in the Churchyard where social distancing will be encouraged. Carols and poems will be performed by actors situated among the grave stones with ambient lighting, which should prove most enjoyable! ***
