Twenty-two youngsters, aged between six and 14, enjoyed a summer drama school at Skipton’s Mart Theatre.

It was run by the locally-based Bad Wolf Theatre Company and Angel Performance Arts and had the theme myths and monsters.

During the first week, students studied various drama subjects, such as stage make-up and script writing, and during the second week they created a short performance for family and friends.

They devised stories about vampires, witches and ghosts and included stage combat moves into their work.
