IN A town that has so much negativity at the moment (with toilets and M&S closing), please can we give The Lights some praise?

Yet again, they’ve managed to pull it out of the bag and get a well-known comedian to come back and perform for us at a bargain price. Next week Michael McIntyre returns!

I can’t imagine how hard it must be to secure names like this to our little town on a regular basis, but the venue manager works hard to keep bringing them in.

In the past few years I’ve seen Jason Manford, Russell Howard, Jack Dee, Alan Carr, Jimmy Carr – to name but a few.

The venue also has a wide range of shows, fairs, themed nights, ballet, plays, tribute acts and children’s workshops.

We are very lucky to have all of this on our doorstep.

Please support this gem all year round.

Julia Fitzpatrick, Georgia Close, Andover.
