A FREE performance of Cinderella for Oxfordshire children facing disadvantage or disabilities is being laid on by the Freemasons this festive season.

The pantomime is for youngsters who might not otherwise be able to attend as well as their parents, carers and families from hospitals, hospices and schools in the county.

It will run from 1.30pm on Tuesday, December 8 at the Playhouse Theatre in Oxford. Children will be shown to their seats by pantomime dames and offered a free ice cream during the interval, followed by a special meeting with Father Christmas and his helpers to receive a goody bag.
