CINDERELLA made sure she kept up with her chores, when she visited Lumley Castle.
Kate Heavenor, who plays the starring role in the Sunderland Empire's production, visited the hotel near Chester-le-Street on Wednesday, where she swept the grounds while she waited for her Prince Charming.
She is appearing in the pantomime alongside Darren Day, who plays Buttons.
Cinderella will run until Sunday, with productions at 2pm and 7pm this Thursday and Friday, and at 1pm and 4.30pm on Saturday and Sunday.
Tickets are priced from £5 to £16.50 and are available from the box office on (0191) 514 2517.
