Christmas Production with St Dunstan's School

Pupils from Millfield and Elmhurst Junior School in Street and St Dunstan’s School in Glastonbury joined together for a second year to perform a festive carol and drama production for an audience of local families and friends in Millfield’s Meyer Theatre.

The project is part of Millfield’s EAGLES programme, which gives pupils the opportunity to work with local, national and international communities, through volunteering, leading, and participating in a wide variety of projects.

Please see videos of the 2017 event here, and the 2018 event here.
