Actors and actresses from Cinderella, which will be staged at Hartlepool’s Borough Hall, are taking part in two separate classes on Wednesday, December 8, at Hartlepool Art Gallery, in Church Square.

The first, between 3.30pm-4.30pm, aimed at families and is deemed suitable for children aged six and above.

Organisers stress: “You are welcome to come in fancy dress but are advised that we will be using messy art materials.”

Entry is free although advance booking is essential on space grounds.

Organisers add: “Please book one ticket per person who will be attending.

"Due to limited spaces we are limiting the tickets to one adult per child to allow more children to experience this activity. Thank you for understanding.”
