SHERWOOD Forest is heading to the Black Country this January as Oldbury Rep stage the classic story of Robin Hood as their winter pantomime.

Audiences can whoop, cheer and boo as the famous outlaw and his band of merry men attempt to rescue Maid Marian from the clutches of the dastardly Sheriff of Nottingham.

The production runs for more than a week from January 11 (Friday) until Saturday, January 19 – apart from Wednesday, January 16, when there is no show – with matinees on January 12, 13 and 19.

Evening performances start at 7.30pm and matinees at 2.30pm, with the show recommended for those aged three and above.

Tickets, from the Box Office on 0121 552 2761 or online at www.oldburyrep.org, are priced at £11 with concessions and party bookings at £10.
