And, that’s exactly what the Highfield Players invite you to do next Tuesday, June 16th in Coleraine’s Riverside Theatre at 8pm.

Building on the success of last year’s production of Brian Friel’s ‘Dancing at Lughnasa’ , the Highfield Players are looking forward to entertaining you with a night of chat, craic, songs and sketches.
