Bit of everything for everyone in show

Visitors heading along to the ILT Christmas Variety Show this week can expect cheerful Christmas carols, vibrant dancing, falling snow and cannon fire.

The variety show held its dress rehearsal on Tuesday night with an appreciative audience who got a taste of the diverse items.

The Southland Highland Dancers and young people who make up the Christmas variety cast are part of the line-up of acts entertaining expectant Southlanders at ILT Stadium Southland last night and tonight.

ILT celebrates 25 years of running the spectacular show this year.
