If you were in Loughboroughs town centre for the French Market, the Mayors Carol Concert, the Christmas Lights Switch On or the Santa Fun Run you will have seen some of them. Now is a final chance to see more than 20 local talent stars as they take to the main stage at Loughborough Town Hall on Friday, 1 February.

The acts which are the finalists from ‘Charnwood’s Got Xmas Talent’ will perform to a cabaret style set-up, creating an award ceremony atmosphere and will be presented with their prizes, including approximately £50 for each act or sponsorship of sweatshirts for the year for the Motion Dance Company and the top prize of £500 to nine-year-old Shaena Walsh-Bell who stunned the crowd with her exceptional performance.

The special ‘one evening only’ performance has tickets on sale from the Town Hall for only £4.

Adrian McInnes, Chair of the Loughborough Town Centre Partnership, said: “The whole competition was a success from its beginning to its finale where the people voted Shaena their winner.

“This event at the Town Hall will be a great opportunity for many of the stars to perform once more. It is also recognition of the great work carried out by the Loughborough Town Centre Partnership and Charnwood Borough Council in delivering such a great competition which has entertained many people, brought communities together and showcased the talent across our Borough.”

Karlie Thompson, Head of Communications for Charnwood Borough Council, said: “The people who have been a part of ‘Charnwood’s Got Xmas Talent’ are real super stars.

“We’re planning on creating an atmosphere like the Brit Awards and the Royal Variety Performances, so it should be a great night.”
