The 80th Welwyn Drama Festival takes place in Welwyn Garden City next month.

The week-long event will once again be bringing the best of amateur dramatics from Hertfordshire and further afield to compete in a series of one-act plays.

The festival runs from Monday, June 2 to Saturday, June 7 at the Hawthorne Theatre, Campus West, with at least two plays performed each night.
