Enjoy a traditional family pantomime performed by the Kelvedon Players.

The group, which has been around for more than 50 years, is performing Little Boy Blue by Paul Reakes.

The pantomime is set on the day of a grand fete in the fictitious town of Merrydale and Willard “Wiggles” Wigglesworth has brought his hot air balloon along to give rides to the townsfolk.

Johnnie Blue has fallen in love with Susie Sidebottom, the mayor’s daughter, but when the pair offend the evil witch Halloweena she is determined to exact revenge.

Soon Johnnie and Susie, together with Wiggles and Bessie, Johnnie’s larger-than-life mother, find themselves a very long way from home.

Performances are on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and the following weekend on the Friday and Saturday, at various times at the Kelvedon Institute.

Tickets are currently on sale, priced at £7 for adults and £5.50 for concessions.

Tickets are from The Master Butcher in Kelvedon high street, 07742 532192 or kelvedonplayers.co.uk
