A theatre company is celebrating ten years of staging performances in Harrow.

Harrow Shed celebrated the milestone with the Mayor of Harrow Nana Asante last night at its headquarters in Hatch End High School, in Headstone Lane.

The theatre group for children from the ages seven to 16 opened its doors in 2003 with help from Linda Foley of Chickenshed Theatre Company.

It is run entirely by volunteers who raised more than £36,000 in three years to set up the group the help of Rotary Club Harrow, Ladies Luncheon Club Pinner and the John Lyons Charity.
