"In general, plants and slugs were the big winners and insects the big losers. But even in this wet...
The title role in Exeter’s own professional pantomime Aladdin, running at Exeter Corn Exchange until 6th January, is taken by sixteen year old Will Trafford in his first professional stage outing.
