Pantomimes and Christmas Shows

It’s here again! Oh no, it isn’t! Oh yes, it is! That’s right – panto season is back, and as usual we here at M&D have put together a list of the best local shows in the Manchester and Cheshire area for you to have some quality family fun at this Christmas. The traditionalists can enjoy old classics such as Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty, whilst those among you who want something other than a pantomime this festive season can head over to venues such as the Bridgewater Hall or Home for a show with a difference.

Which family members are getting an invite this year? Do people still send cards or is it just texts now?
