ROSSENDALE Museum in Whitaker Park is hosting an exhibition of masks used by the Horse and Bamboo Theatre in Waterfoot.

The exhibition, which begins next Wednesday, will display masks used in past productions by the Bacup Road theatre over the years.

It will run until February 25, and the museum will also be organising workshops and activities in connection with the exhibition, particularly over the half term period.

Rossendale Museum is open daily except Monday and Friday from 1pm to 4pm.

Admission is free. Above, Gilly Daniels comes face to face with one of the masks.
