A WOMAN is limbering up to tackle the world's highest mountain - by tackling a haunted theatre in Lancaster.

Donna Gadsby, 33, will join a group heading for Mt Everest to raise money for the mental health charity Scope next year.

She plans to spend a night at Lancaster's Grand Theatre as part of her fund-raising for the trek. And she is asking others to join her.

Her 'Ghostwatch' event takes place on August 13 and Donna wants to hear from hearty volunteers e willing and able to raise a minimum of £150 in pledges to stay in the Grand overnight.

To find out more and to volunteer, call Donna on 07814-709712.
