THE Gobowen Pantomime Group is set to make a comeback this Christmas after an 18year hiatus.

The group will present a timeless tale, ‘Beauty and the Beast’, at The Working Mens Club this December.

It's been a while since the community of Gobowen put on a pantomime, but back when they did, it was a massive success .

A spokesperson for the group said: “Bringing together a cast of young people and local amateur-performers we want to stage a brand-new production of ‘Beauty and the Beast’ on a well-known Gobowen stage.

"After the huge success of Gobowen's bonfire night (2022) it certainly feels like there is an appetite for family activities in the village."

Lead by professional theatre maker Justin Cliffe, and supported by the Gobowen Community Group, and the Gobowen Youth Opportunity Fund, the show gives the perfect opportunity for people to socialise, develop new skills, and grow their confidence.
