On Saturday 9th March Open Studios continues, in the evening we have a drama production from Droylsden Little Theatre written by Paul Charlesworth, entitled 'Stitches in Time'. This production weaves together eerie stories from Vernon Mill and its ghosts.On Sunday the studios are open again and there will be poetry from Jean The Hat.
