ANYONE coming in to Aberdyfi from the Tywyn road cannot fail to notice a large pair of red shoes that have magically appeared above the awning outside the Neuadd Dyfi.

These sparkly shoes can only belong to a girl called Dorothy - which means that inside the Neuadd Dyfi dress rehearsals are in full swing for Aberdyfi Players’ 2016 panto, The Wizard of Oz.

To follow the Yellow Brick Road and to see the magical shoes in action tickets are still available for performances of The Wizard of Oz on Friday 29 and Saturday 30 January and Friday 5, and Saturday 6 February.

Evening performances are at 7.30pm with Saturday matinees at 2pm. Tickets are available from Dovey Marine, Aberdyfi and Rivington, Tywyn. The ticket hotline is 07972 291280.
