Parish prepares for panto

The classic story will be told by amateur thespians at St Mary’s church, who will be marking their 63rd performance.

Committee member Wendy Storey said: “We have a large and talented cast, as ever, and all are local so there is a great sense of community spirit which we encourage.”

The show at St Mary’s Parish Centre in Church Lane will start at 7.15pm on February 1, 2 and 3, with two performances on Saturday February 4 starting at 1.30pm and 6pm.

Wendy said: “This year we are very excited as we have a more modern script which embraces the traditional but also involves a more modern trend.

“We hope as always to have a great time and ask as many people as possible to come along and support us. It is brilliant fun.”

Tickets for the first show cost £3.50. For all other performances, adults will be charged £5.50 and concessions £3.50.
