TIME is running out to enjoy some festive fun as a pantomime's run comes to an end on Christmas Eve.

Bocking Arts Theatre has begun putting on performances of pantomime classic Jack and the Beanstalk.

Since Thursday, the professional show has been rocking visitors to the venue.

But as the series draws to a close, there are still eight shows left for theatre-goers to enjoy.

There are performances on:

Sunday 19th - 1pm & 5pm

Tuesday 21st - 1pm

Wednesday 22nd - 1pm

Thursday 23rd - 1pm & 5pm

Friday 24th - 11am & 3pm

The show – by Three’s A Crowd Productions – is the perfect family event and tickets cost between £15 and £16, with under twos on laps going for free.

A spokesman for the theatre said: “Come and see if Jack can defeat the giant, win the heart of the girl he loves and turn the Trots’ fortunes around.

“We have CBBC’s Reis Daniel as our dastardly villain Fleshcreep, our hilarious panto dame Patrick Seymour returns as Dame Trott alongside her Silly Billy son played by local comedian James Beatty.

“We have the fantastic Frances Styles returning as Fairy Bean Sprout, and are proud to introduce the wonderful Georgie King as Jill and the superb Luke Ward as Jack Trott.

“We also have StarStruck Theatre School bringing their very own wow factor to add to our cast's fabulous musical numbers and bags of slapstick fun!

"So join us for this year's professional pantomime for all the family.”

Doors open 45 minutes before each show and seating is unreserved so it is first come first served.
