We were delighted to host a group of children from Willaston School as part of their Year 6 aspirations week. The visit was intended to provide the students with insight about the various jobs that people do at VillaGaiety from cinema projection, administration, marketing, events, front of house and tech, with the children taken on a tour of of both the Villa Marina and Gaiety Theatre to learn more.  With lots of questions asked throughout the morning, we hope that the children found the visit interesting and we hope to see them all again in the future, perhaps in their future careers or even as performers on stage!  Thank you Willaston for being such wonderful visitors, you were a real credit to your teachers and school.
