The magic of Dickens' Christmas Carol has been holding the town spellbound thanks to Sidmouth Youth Theatre's enchanting production of Scrooge The Musical which runs until tomorrow.

The show, directed by Angela Davies, opened on Monday and has been captivating audiences all week as youngsters re-tell classic tale of Ebenezer Scrooge's self discovery, originally staged in the town in the early nineties.
