Barbara Eshelby said: “The children are all very exited and are rehearsing at Lowther tomorrow, they can’t wait to get on stage.

“We have also just heard that we have been nominated for four awards for last year’s panto Beauty and the Beast which everybody is very happy about.”

The dance school has won the National Operatic and Dramatic Association (NODA) award for the best staged panto over the last three years.
