welcome Dawn French to the Princess theatre in October
which is an evening definitely not to be missed.
if you are planning a trip to the Pantomime this year, why not
think about getting together with some family or friends and
make a group booking? there are some really good group
discounts available so why not give the groups department
a call on 01803 206365 to discuss the options available.
i hope you have a wonderful summer and i look forward
to seeing you in the autumn.

intricate plot where murder lurks around every corner.
