The Westleigh School has been invited to create our very own showcase, which will be performed at a brand-new performing arts theatre, complete with specialist stage, sound, and lighting facilities. Singers, dancers, actors, and any other performers are all welcome. We’re excited to be working with Ciara Bell and Ben Brooks, both former students from Wigan and Leigh, who will help us create something truly magical for 2026. This is our chance to show that Westleigh really does have talent! All students in Years 7–10 are invited to take part. If you already have a piece you’d like to perform, please speak to Mrs Watling, Mrs Garrett, or Miss Lee. If you’d like to learn something new and exciting, come along to our first workshop on **Wednesday 22nd April 3-5pm**. Save the date for the show: **Tuesday 7th July 2026** We can’t wait to see what you bring! ### [Westleigh Performing Arts Showcase – Register Your Interest!](https://forms.office.com/e/2JbLjQkgvB) ![](https://thewestleighschool.co.uk/images/Wigan_-_Leigh_College.jpg) ![](https://thewestleighschool.co.uk/images/IMG_Theatre-space.webp) ![](https://thewestleighschool.co.uk/images/Showcase.jpg) Ciara Bell is a passionate performing arts enthusiast with a strong interest in drama and musical theatre.
