Let the fairytale begin! Here's five great things to do

Cinderella: A Fairytale

The Dukes theatre in The Round will be transformed into a wintry woodland for this year’s festive treat – Cinderella: A Fairytale.

From today until January 11, the Lancaster theatre will stage the first new version of Sally Cookson and Adam Peck’s Cinderella since its initial awardwinning production which went on to win an Off West End Award and was nominated for an Olivier Award.

Trees from Sizergh Castle near Kendal will adorn the set along with original music and dance routines spanning the forties to the sixties plus fantastic puppets.
