Sleeping Beauty – Middleton's Christmas Panto,  14:00, Sunday 29th December 2024

 

This Christmas, you’re invited to the pantomime of your dreams, Sleeping Beauty at Middleton Arena.  Once upon a time, in a Pantoland far away, a beautiful Princess is cursed by the evil Carabosse to perish on her 21st birthday by pricking her finger on a spinning wheel. Thanks to Beauty’s fairy, she only falls into a deep sleep that can be broken by her one true love. Will her handsome prince come to her rescue, fight the dragon, destroy Carabosse and save the day? There’s only one way to find out… This magical pantomime features great songs from our live band, dazzling dance routines, stunning scenery, beautiful costumes and incredible circus acts. It will be an unforgettable experience for children and adults alike. So, make sure you book your tickets for this magical adventure!

 Santa Xmas Special on the East Lancs Railway, 12:50, 15th  December 2024

It is really early in the year I know to advertise this event but it is just to tell you that  the seats go really fast. If you are not sure please tell us of your interest so that we know how many sets to reserve

Steam into Christmas on the East Lancashire Railway’s famously festive Santa Specials. Your family will make enchanted memories to share as they take a trip through the magical Irwell Valley alongside colourful characters and surprises.

And what Christmas treat would be complete without a visit from a host of happy elves and Santa Claus himself.

Begin the adventure at Bury Bolton Street Station where you will journey through a gorgeously decorated winter wonderland. Say hello to Mrs Claus and the talking Christmas Tree, and maybe even stop for a quick singalong with our carol singing choir of polar bears, before boarding your train.

Once you’re settled into your seat, a steam train will haul you to Rawtenstall and back on an approximately 80-minute round trip. Along the way the festive fun continues as you meet your favourite Christmas characters and get the chance to belt out a couple of festive classics with the brass band. Whilst travelling, Santa himself will visit your carriage with a gift for every little one, and there will be plenty of time to have a chat with him and take a Santa selfie or two.

Grown-ups can look forward to mince pies and a festive tipple or soft drink. For the children there will be a drink, chocolate and an activity pack.
