DO you believe in magic? Belstone Players sincerely hope so – otherwise, how will the Marquis of Carrabas ever defeat the Ogre Grizlee and win the princess Lettie's hand?

With the help of Fairy Tayle and her ex-familiar, the feline pharmacist, what could possibly go wrong?

Quite a lot, actually — there are a few twists and turns in the retelling of this old fairy story as performed by the Belstone Players this week and next week at Belstone Willage Hall.

So to enjoy some magic, mayhem and madness, with a licenced bar and choc ices, join Belstone Players for their production of Puss in Boots.
