About Macastory’s Hansel and Gretel

If we go down to the woods today... no bears in sight, just cakes and sweet treats galore in Macastory’s Storytelling Panto.

Join Ron, Ferg and Claire as they take you on a great big Christmas cracker of an adventure. Stroll through the forest with Hansel and Gretel as they meet the mysterious Mr Crow, the Sandman and... someone claiming to be the Bake-off Champion?! And just what is she planning to cook for dinner? We need YOU to help them so sing along! Cheer the goody! Boo the baddy! And watch out… HE’S BEHIND YOU!

Perfect Panto Patter, full of fun and laughs, especially devised for a young audience and their parents… it’s a BIG story for LITTLE people.

PANTO IS BACK!
OH YES IT IS!
