The Trevonne stage production of Mother Goose really was one golden egg of a show, with plenty of energetic dancing and audience participation.

Packed with heroes and villains, boo-ing and cheering and plenty of panto mischief the show starts ran at the Melton Theatre for a week and got the winter season in swing in style. Gearing up for his fourth pantomime appearance, Pete Banfield, who plays the dame in Mother Goose, said: " Pantomime is great fun to be a part of and a real family event. "I'm really enjoy playing the dame and had been rehearsing along with the incredibly talented cast since October.

"Trying to perfect my Abba dance routine in four inch wedges, while preparing for my seven dress changes, it's a tricky business."
