Guided by theatre professional, Liz Felton and members of the Story Cellar, the six to 11-year-olds faced malevolent boggarts and fearsome werewolves to create their own Potter-themed play day which was shown to their families.

Story Cellar, artistic director, Liz said: "Much fun was had with Marauders Maps and Time Turners as the six to 11-year-olds took to the stage at the end of the day to share the fruits of their labour."

The Story Cellar's festive youth theatre group production of The Elves And The Shoemaker will take place at 2pm on December 14 at Pill Memorial Hall.

Tickets priced £4, are available from liz@thestorycellar.co.uk
