Famous fairytales are the subject of delightful pantomimes! The version of our story includes the zany traditional British Panto characters: the widow, the villain and the good fairy.

Audience participation is an absolute ‘must’ as good triumphs over evil in this fractured fairytale, featuring outrageous hilarity, show stopping songs, dazzling dance numbers, cool costumes and amazing effects.

This lovely house is a ten minute stroll into the centre and near the city’s largest park.
