Worksop’s Got Talent is returning on Friday 26th November with their biggest show yet, in front of 700 local people and a celebrity judging panel made up of S Club 7 legend Jo O’Meara and others.
Organisers have chosen their 12 finalists for the 2021 final, which include a range of singers, a dance troupe, the first ever breakdancing duo and a ukulele-playing comedic local man. The fifth anniversary Christmas special will also feature three special guest performers from some very exciting guests, including a certain pop star…
James Clarke, the event’s organiser, said: “This is our strongest line-up ever – I can’t wait for everyone to see who’s taking part! I can’t even guess who’s going to win! Plus, the celebrity guests are incredible. The price of £10.00 a ticket – with all of the money going to charity, for a three-and-a-half hour amazing Christmas show – is a bargain!”
Since 2016, Worksop’s Got Talent has raised £40,000 for blindness charity Retina UK, sold out four times (700 guests every year), won four awards, earned the event organiser invitations to Buckingham Palace and the House of Commons and become Worksop’s biggest event. Further announcements on celebrity judges and hosts will follow in due course. Follow Worksop’s Got Talent on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter for the latest updates.
