HEATON Park is to be sprinkled with magical dance performances next month.

The Tangled Dance Company will be staging its production of 'Once Upon A Twisted Tale' when the audience can follow the characters through the grounds as the captivating story unfolds.

The performance, on Sunday August 16, is presented by contemporary dancers all trained at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance, together with live classical musicians. Performances will occur three times throughout the day at noon, 2pm and 4pm, starting outside the Farm Centre.

It is suitable for all ages, and will last around 40 minutes, including a workshop for children to conclude the experience. The event is free.
