Shenfield Operatic Society celebrated its golden anniversary in style in Hutton.

The group held the event following a sell out 50th anniversary concert in Blackmore Village Hall last month.

Their latest event was a dance at Mount Avenue Banqueting Suite organised by social secretary Annette Harris, which included a cabaret of music from the society’s history.

Originally formed by school staff at St Martin’s School the society was first known as St Martin’s Operatic Society, but changed its name in 1988 for a wider appeal.

The society is welcoming new members to join the group or to help backstage.
