Pantomime will add to the new year attractions at Beamish Museum in January, inviting families to enjoy all the traditional slapstick fun in a period setting.
Dick Whittington is to begin its run on January 7 in the 1950s Welfare Hall at the County Durham museum and tickets are already on sale for weekend performances up to January 29. And families are being promised plenty of music, mischief and mayhem in the show which is based upon the well-known tale of Dick's trek to London, with his cat, to find streets paved with gold.
Presented by the Beamish Amateur Dramatic Society, the short show will take place on Saturdays and Sundays throughout the month, with performances at 11am, 1pm and 2.30pm. Tickets cost £2 for all visitors aged five and over.
