Children took part in a comical retelling of two classic tales at a special summer holiday event last week.

Old MacDonald’s Farm and the Three Pigs Plus was held at the Zinc Arts Centre in Ongar High Street, giving children the chance to get involved with songs and games led by entertainer Philip Sherman.

The comedy show on Friday (July 31) was organised by Epping Forest District Council as part of a programme of holiday events.

An arts centre organiser said: “We had a high attendance and the children loved it, Philip Sherman led it and they all loved him.

“He was very good, very animated and enthusiastic, and they all had a lot of fun.”
