MID Cheshire’s professional panto Jack And The Beanstalk keeps the festivities bubbling at Winsford Civic Hall this week.

After the success of last year’s pantomime, Aladdin, Vale Royal Borough Council invited JB Entertainment and Events to put on another crowd-pleaser for the public.

The show stars television actress Helen Noble, best known for playing Abbey Davies in Hollyoaks.

James Wolstenholme plays Jack and James Pellow plays comedy character Dame Trot.

Alex Clarke plays Fleshcreep and Lowri James is the Princess’s lady in waiting. Other weird and wonderful characters include a tap-dancing cow and a huge puppet style giant.

Jack and the Beanstalk is at the Civic Hall until Monday December 31. Individual tickets are £8, and family tickets for four people are available for £30.

The box office is on 01606 867539 or book online at www.valeroyal.gov.uk.
