ACTOR John Barrowman will officially open Sully School's Summer Fete this Saturday (July 4).
The 42-year-old star, who plays Captain Jack Harkness in BBC sci-fi hit Torchwood, will get proceedings underway at the school on Burnham Avenue, from 2pm.
Mr Barrowman recently bought a home in the village, following repeated visits to south Wales for filming.
Fete organiser Chris Fletcher says he was pleasantly surprised to secure such a big name.
“It’s great of John Barrowman to come and open the fete,” he said.
“I’ve seen him in Sully a few times so thought I’d be cheeky and put a note through his front door.
“I was quite shocked when his agent called saying he’d be delighted to get involved!"
The fete will have a red, blue and white theme as it takes place on American Independence Day. There will be music, displays from South Wales Fire and Rescue, vintage bus rides, tug-of-war, raffle and barbecue and other fair favourites. Entry is 50p.
