THE latest in the popular series of Saturday Live will take place in Basingstoke's Central Studio on March 31.

Traditionally popular with the children, their parents and indeed their grandparents, the morning shows always delight in their entertainment, their participation and the after-show mingling.

The next attraction will be Nutcracker by Cornelius and Jones, beginning at 11am.

A favourite winter's tale, the story is adapted from the story by Hoffman and takes place in a toyshop in 19th century Germany where Zachariah is hard at work.

Reality gradually gives way to fantasy as the audience is drawn into a series of amazing adventures.

The imaginative use of automata, puppets, toys and seasonal traditions makes the show particularly magical and it is vividly enjoyable for all ages.

Tickets, costing £4, are available from the box office on 01256 418318.
