HEADING to a land where they never have to grow up, more than 400 youngsters have been preparing for their part in a new musical.

Second Star To The Right opens at the Nuffield Theatre this weekend and is based on the classic adventures of J M Barrie's Peter Pan.

Energetic youngsters from the Sally Johnson Academy of Dance held a rehearsal at the Alderman Quilley School in Eastleigh ahead of the stage show which takes place from Friday to Sunday.

Ticket prices are £9 with concessions for children and pensioners.
