2016 Pantomime Trip!
The snow has been falling this week and so it’s perfect timing for sending out info on this year’s Christmas Panto trip!!
Very advance notice…
Following our successful trip last year we are returning to the Edinburgh Lyceum in December to see “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” which is suitable for children aged 5+.
Suggested dates for the trip are Saturday 3rd, Saturday 17th or Sunday 18th December, all matinee performances at 2pm.
We have once again been awarded windfarm funding so the price of the trip will be greatly subsidised for residents of the Garvald and Morham area. The price will include theatre tickets and free return coach travel. As was the case last year, children must be accompanied by an adult, but villagers of all ages are welcome. Please let Penny Short know as soon as possible (via the Contact Form) if you would be interested in coming along and which dates suit you, so we can get the ball rolling and pre-book our tickets.
If other pantomimes are preferable then we would welcome any efforts to organise an alternative trip – help and funding advice would be given.
