Magic beans, a huge beanstalk, a golden egg laying chicken and Bluebell the cow will be coming to Wreningham Village Hall next week.

Thespians from the Ashwren Players will be performing their version of the classic Jack and the Beanstalk on February 25 and 26.

The panto, written especially for the group by Gordon Spalding and under the artistic directorship of Val Keel, also contains a number of unusual features including red marrows, blue tomatoes and green strawberries, acted out by a cast of which two thirds are aged 13 or under.

This year's production will be supporting the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital's cardiac department's new initiative called Sparks for Hearts, which is a method of electrical heart treatment.

The curtain will rise at 7.30pm each night, while an additional matinee performance will also take place on February 26 at 2pm.

Tickets cost from �4 to �6.
