Talented students from Stagecoach Performing Arts in Bicester joined Chigwell, Edgbaston, Evesham, Halifax, Lincoln South and Malvern, taking to the stage in Birmingham Town Hall for a dazzling winter showcase on Sunday December 18, 2022.

The Bicester students have been getting into the festive cheer and worked hard to rehearse for their production.
