CHRISTMAS may be over but the magic and sparkle at Oxford Playhouse goes on - and for one lucky child the memories will last a lifetime.

Katie Stevenson, left, joined Cinderella in her coach ahead of a performance of the much-loved pantomime on Saturday.

The youngster and her mother Eva Oliver won an Oxford Mail competition to see the play free of charge and meet the princess, played by Rochelle Rose.

Cinderella is written and directed by Steve Marmion, director of pantomime Aladdin, which was performed last year at the Oxford Playhouse, and given a five-star review in the Oxford Times.

Tickets are still available for performances of Cinderella throughout January.
