🍎 One wicked Queen. One brave princess. One handsome Huntsman. One helpful (sort of) gardener, and one LOAD of panto chaos... 😂 🧹🫧

Our Snow White, is heading to Derby Arena this December! ✨

Expect spectacular sets, ridiculous costumes, plenty of slapstick and enough festive fun to make even the Wicked Queen crack a smile. 👑🍎

Featuring CBeebies favourite Evie Pickerill as Snow White, Derby’s own Dame Morgan Brind as Cilla Bang, Kristian Cunningham as Keanu Leaves the Gardener and Roddy Peters as Hamish the Huntsman… this is one fairy tale that’s definitely gone a little off-script! 😂

🎟️ Snow White | Fri 4 - Thu 31 Dec | Derby Arena

Go on… take a bite. 🍎
