Students from the Primary Drama section of Phoenix Theatre School will create animal magic at their annual nativity play at Pets Corner, Harlow, on Saturday, December 12.

There will be two performances, one at 11.30am with the younger members of the school and a second at 4.30pm with the older students. Animals from the facility will be involved with both performances.

School principal Phil Dale says: “The nativity is always a magical event and for everybody involved it has come to represent the start of Christmas.”

Performances take place at Pets Corner, Spurriers, Harlow Town Park, Harlow. Details: www.phoenixtheatreschool.co.uk
