MELKSHAM Assembly Hall has released details of its ‘Live at Melksham’ autumn schedule, and is boasting a quality lineup of music, comedy and entertainment.

Marty Wilde, an icon of Rock ‘n’ Roll, will play the Assembly Hall on Friday 9th October. With a string of famous hits including ‘Donna’, ‘Teenager In Love’, ‘Sea of Love’ and ‘Rubber Ball’, Marty and his fabulous band the Wildcats will bring their musical extravaganza to Melksham, showcasing some of the most exciting musical times this country has ever experienced.

The brilliant Rob Beckett is set to bring his ‘Mouth of the South’ tour to the Assembly Hall on Friday 13th November. Star of BBC 1’s ‘Live at the Apollo’, BBC 2’s ‘Mock the Week’, Channel 4’s ‘8 out of 10 Cats’ and ‘I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!’ NOW, Rob will be discussing the big issues of the day….like Kit Kats and flatbread!

A multi-award winning comedian, Rob’s debut tour, which finished in spring 2014, saw him playing to sell out venues all over the UK with dates being added due to the phenomenal demand.

Derek Acorah will return to the Assembly Hall on Friday 20th November. Arguably the country’s most renowned Spirit Medium having demonstrated to many hundreds of thousands of people in theatres throughout the UK over his 25 year career in the public eye, Derek’s television career dates back over 15 years with his own shows such as ‘Most Haunted’ and ‘Derek Acorah’s Ghost Towns’.

Tickets for all shows are available from Melksham Assembly Hall, tel: 01225 709887 or the TIC, tel: 01225 707424.

  • Melksham man completes fundraising walk for Parkinson’s charity

A Melksham man has raised more than £600 for Parkinson’s UK by completing a 19.69-mile sponsored walk in tribute to his brother and others he knows living with the condition. Richard Collett had originally planned to take part in the Great North Run for the fourth year, but was forced to give up his place because of knee pain, which had also prevented him from training.
