Hertfordshire stage school Top Hat celebrated its 30th anniversary with a musical extravaganza at the Alban Arena.

More than 200 children aged four to 16 took part in the show on Sunday, June 30 to celebrate 30 years in the business.

The show marked a collaboration between students at Top Hat's different stage schools across Hertfordshire

Principal Andy Musgrove said: "I was so proud of all the students and all the hard work they put into the show.

"The kids did amazing!"

Top Hat will begin classes again in September, and is looking for new students to take part in their Christmas pantomime.
