MYSTERIOUS happenings are taking place tonight in the shadowy recesses of Farndale Castle -- otherwise known as Darwen Library Theatre.

Darwen Library Players have been busy all week with final rehearsals for their production of The Haunted Through Lounge and Recessed Dining Nook at Farndale Castle, by David McGillivray and Walter Zerlin Jnr.

The plot, which revolves around the antics of the Farndale Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society, is a madcap mix of comedy and spooky goings-on.

Tickets are £5 each (£3.50 concessions) and are available from the box office on 01254 706006.
