Phoebe Cowhig and Gina Wilson, both aged 12, first took to the stage over the Christmas season for the Robin Hood pantomime in 2011, and also appeared in Cinderella in 2012 and Jack and the Beanstalk in 2013.
Also performing this year are Natasha Curtis, Amber Betson, Isabelle Parker, Molly Masson, Georgina Jarratt, Sophie Little, Hannah White, Dulcie Wheatley-Hince, Amber Morrison and Abby Elliott.
They all attend local schools including Trinity, Kennet, The Downs, Park House, St. Bartholomew’s, Hermitage Primary, Kingsclere Primary and St John’s Primary, Wiltshire.
