Cast members from the Aladdin pantomime visited patients on Airedale hospital’s children’s ward.

Aladdin is currently showing at The Muni in Colne, and four members of the cast came to visit poorly children at Airedale to brighten up their day.

Visitors included comedy star Rikki Stone, panto dame Steve Boyce, Emmerdale’s Kelsey Beth Crossley as Princess Jasmine and Sean Smith from X Factor band Same Difference as Aladdin.

Children and their families were delighted to see panto characters on the ward in their bright and colourful costumes and staff members also joined in the fun.

Aladdin is Colne’s biggest ever pantomime and performances continue until January 19.
