PANTOMIME stars swapped the stage for steam engines as they stopped of at a railway museum to join in with some cut price fun.

Cast members from Darlington Civic Theatre’s Aladdin pantomime popped into the town’s Head of Steam Museum to meet visitors today (Sunday, December 29) as part of a special weekend at the museum which saw admission prices slashed to £1.

Extra entertainment was provided by popular children’s entertainer ‘Krazy Kev’.

Aladdin runs at the Civic until January 12 and stars the legendary Chuckle Brothers alongside Philip Meeks as panto dame Widow Twankey.
