Panto continues to 8 January

If you haven't yet seen this year's panto at the Georgian, then gather up your children or grandchildren, or borrow a few, or simply go along anyway, to enjoy this year's cracking performance of Pinocchio.

 Pinocchio has it all: a wonderful Dame, a lovable puppet-turned-real-boy, a super-smiley Geordie fairy, a dancing cricket, a villainous villain, sing-alongs, dreadful jokes (boom! tish!), showers of fish and Tunnock's teacakes (yes, really). It's two hours of mayhem, and will be enjoyed by anyone from four to four-score.

Pinocchio is at Richmond's gorgeous little Georgian Theatre Royal. This year's run continues until Sunday 8 January, with a mix of matinée and evening performances. Tickets and details here, or at 01748 825252.
