Panto season is here!

Only a few days to go before the curtain rises at the Princess Theatre for this year's production of Aladdin.

Dame Widow Twankey and Father Christmas switched on the Christmas lights in Hunstanton on Sunday surrounded by the cast of Aladdin to signal the start of the festive season.

Providing classic Christmas tunes and hosting the event was Radio West Norfolk's Simon Rowe while right outside the theatre John-Henry Roper from Rainbow Park provided free teacup rides for all the children.

Santa was in residence in his grotto in the Princess Theatre where each child received a special gift and Santa made a note of what they wanted on the big day.

Theatre volunteers were on hand throughout the day performing their vital role making sure everyone had a wonderful time - and here's a photo of Jenny and Sylvia in their Christmas sparkle.
