THE Alderbury Players, pictured left, will be staging their annual pantomime in the village hall this week.

Jack and the Beanstalk is a traditional family panto full of fun and silliness.

There will be all the usual ingredients – with a beanstalk, a giant and, of course, hapless hero Jack. Keep an eye out for Buttercup the cow, and her amazing supply of milk and cream.

n Performances are tonight, tomorrow and Saturday at 7.30pm.

Tickets, priced at £6 for adults and £4.50 for children under 16, are available from Alderbury Village Shop and Post office, or call 01722 710123.
