Entry for an annual charity talent contest, which raises money for a hospice in Northwood, is now open.

Judges of “Michael Sobell House Has Talent” are looking for singers, dancers, poets, comedians, magician, and local bands to take part in the competition.

The hospice in Mount Vernon Hospital helps patients with life limiting diseases manage their conditions.

Carol Weston, event organiser said: “Last year’s event, held at Watersmeet Theatre, Rickmansworth, attracted no less than 18 acts in front of four judges and of an audience of 400 people.

“It was a fantastic evening, lots of fun for all the family and raised a great deal of money for the centre. This year’s event promises to another superb evening of entertainment. ”

The closing date for entry is Friday July 29, and entry forms are available by telephoning Carol Weston on 07779 555776, by emailing c.weston519@btinternet.com or via the related link below.
