🗞😆 “The Best Little Panto in the Country” Manchester Evening News,
Book early for best date and seat availbility now to avoid disappointment.
"This is the real brilliance of a Big Tiny panto – it’s not JUST a panto, it has heart. The funny bits aren’t just funny, they’re hilarious. The dramatic bits aren’t just dramatic, they’re nail biting. The magical bits aren’t just magical, they’re moving and all of it is woven together with such craftsmanship and love that you leave feeling not only entertained, but edified."
Saddleworth Independent
There are shows from Saturday 6th December through Christmas and New Year to Saturday 3rd January before everyone’s back to school. So lots to choose from at different prices.
