For 35 years, members of Northumberland's 27up pantomime group have brought joy to the local stage - and two fan favourites are now preparing to perform for the final time.

The group is comprised of individuals formerly part of the Young Farmers Club (YFC), who aim to raise funds for both YFC and charity.

Their ventures are a tradition; with a show performed at Hexham's Queens Hall Arts Centre every two years.

This year, the team presents Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.

A rotating cast allows for fresh faces, yet some regulars have become audience favourites.

Two such favourites are Charlotte Ridley and Clare North-Lewis.

For almost 30 years, this spirited pair have acted as leading ladies, principal boys, and even as French maids and evil Queens.

This year, the dynamic duo are taking their final bows, portraying the fairies in the current production.

Despite their upcoming retirement, Ms Ridley and Ms North-Lewis' contribution to the 27up group shall be fondly remembered by the local community and theatre-goers.

The 27up team extends their gratitude to the duo for their years of dedication and good-natured antics for pantomime's sake.

Performances are taking place on January 18 at 7pm, January 19 at 7pm, and on January 20 at 2pm and 7pm.

Tickets are available for purchase from the Queens Hall box office and website.
