TICKETS are now on general sale for the 2015 Anvil Arts Christmas shows.

The Anvil pantomime will be Jack and the Beanstalk and it will run from December 10 - January 3.

When Dame Trot sends her son Jack to market, little do they know that swapping Daisy the cow for a handful of beans will result in an overgrown beanstalk, a hungry giant, wicked henchman and fabulous golden treasure.

With thrilling adventures, gigantic laughs, spectacular sets and costumes, this Gazette-sponsored show from UK Productions promises to be a giant treat for the whole family.

Book early to climb into the best seats – it’s the pantomime you’ve ‘bean’ waiting for!

In The Haymarket, Tall Stories will present The Snow Dragon from December 2 – 12.

Billy is a spoilt young goat whose parents give him everything he wants. And what he doesn’t get from them, he steals from his friends. On New Year’s Eve, Billy is looking forward to the annual visit of the legendary Snow Dragon, who will bring him even more goodies during the night…

But when Billy bumps into some hungry wolves in the forest, New Year’s Day seems a long way off. Find out how Billy escapes – and whether the Snow Dragon will bring him a present. Has Billy been naughty or nice?

Storytelling, comedy and songs create a magical, mysterious world for everyone aged three and up, from the company that brought you The Gruffalo and Room on the Broom.
