“We danced in the Ballroom and got changed in the Tapestry Room which had a four poster bed in - it wasn’t your normal dressing room which the girls loved.”

Belvoir Castle’s Christmas Musical Extravaganza included carol singing, seasonal food and drink, a festive craft centre for children and a winter wonderland where Father Christmas and his little elf were waiting with a special gift.

Other musical acts topping the bill included Persiflage Saxophone Ensemble, St Waltham’s bell ringers, singer Tabitha Gervis who appeared on ITV’s The Voice Kids and Bingham’s School of Dance.
