IT is the time of year for all things gory - so it is rather fitting that the Littleton Players are bringing a comedy murder mystery to the village.

In support of the St Catherine’s Church Room Appeal they will present Agatha Crusty and the Village Hall Murders on October 31 and November 1.

It follows the crime novelist as she spends a few days in the village of Chortelby and is caught up in a series of murders seemingly directed at the village hall committee.

It starts at 7.30pm on both nights, at the Littleton Millennium Memorial Hall.

Tickets cost £8 for adults, £6 for children. To book contact Daphne Poupart on 01962 882878.
