HUNDREDS of youngsters are getting ready to perform in a theatre show.

Pupils from schools across Swanley and the surrounding area will be part of the 400 performers for A Night at the Theatre at The Orchard in Home Gardens, Dartford.

The show on July 1, which is organised by education programme Swanley and District Local Children’s Services Partnership, will see the youngsters singing, dancing and playing in an orchestra.

Lead music teacher Stephanie Jarvis said: “This year's concert is bigger and better than any before. It will be my final concert for the partnership and I intend to go out with a bang.”
