AERIAL dancers, stilt walkers and music will liven up a village's playing field over the bank holiday weekend as part of a heritage project.

Whitbourne, near Bromyard, is where the first work of science fiction in the English language was created by the Bishop of Hereford, Francis Godwin, who lived in the village in the 1600s.

Everybody Dance, a charity based in the village which brings people together through dance-based projects, have taken Godwin’s tale ‘The Man in the Moone’ as the basis for a large-scale community project.

Locals who would like to learn aerial skills, stilt walking or even help backstage, are being urged to get involved with the performance.

The performance of ‘Our Man in the Moone’ takes place at Whitbourne Village Hall’s playing field on 31st August 2019 at 4:15pm, as part of

The project received the majority of its funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
