Our Kiln Dried Firewood Logs are selected from the finest hardwood and have been through a kiln drying process, which means they are perfectly dried and ready to burn on your open fire or wood burning stove. Light, clean and easy to handle, they also emit a delightful aroma when burnt. The performance of your stove is directly related to the quality of the wood you use. Our kiln dried wood has a moisture content between 10 and 20 percent, ensuring it burns hotter for longer, increasing the efficiency of your stove or appliance.

There will of course be lots of jokes and laughter, singing and dancing and fun for all the family so do come along and support your local community panto. Director, Gillian Vickers, said “ Over the twenty plus years I have been working with the group we have presented the traditional pantomimes like Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Aladdin , some of them several times over, so now we like to try something a little bit different with our pantomimes. We aim to keep all the traditional panto elements whilst finding an unusual slant on the old pantomime stories.”
