welcome Dawn French to the Princess theatre in October

which is an evening definitely not to be missed.

if you are planning a trip to the Pantomime this year, why not

think about getting together with some family or friends and

make a group booking? there are some really good group

discounts available so why not give the groups department

a call on 01803 206365 to discuss the options available.

i hope you have a wonderful summer and i look forward

to seeing you in the autumn.
