Meltham Memories hosts a concert in the village hall on July 13 which features singers Norman Mellor, Richard Cook and Diane Robinson from Reflections plus Craig Ball and Katie Spitfire.
The concert is at 7pm and opens a weekend of events in the village.

The chosen charity is as always Help for Heroes
A church service will be held at St Bartholomew’s Church on the Sunday morning. Following this fantastic community weekend on Friday July 20 there will be a night with the world-renowned ‘Swing Commanders’ in Meltham Village Hall.
