Sparrows is based on children evacuated from Manchester to Bakewell and Rowsley during the Second World War.

Participants in a summer school, run by Sparrows’ scriptwriter Sharon Holland Taylor, will be staging the show on Saturday, August 10.

Performances are at 2pm and 7pm at Peak Rail, Rowsley South, off Harrison Way, Darley Dale.

Our cameraman Jason Chadwick was invited to a video shoot, ahead of its opening.
