HUMPTY Dumpty and Pudsey Bear are joining forces to raise money for Children in Need by performing a village pantomime.

Bishampton Barnstormers Humpty's panto is being performed this week by villagers, and all profits from ticket sales will go to the charity which helps needy children all over the country.

Pat Smith is directing the performance which starts tomorrow and finishes on Saturday.

She said: "There are about 45 in the cast from in and around the village with an age range from six to 70. It is a real community show."

All tickets cost £5 and the panto is being performed in Bishampton Village Hall. For more details contact Sue Griffith on 01386 462306.
