WHO said pantos were just for Christmas?

For the October half term, Blackpool’s North Pier will be staging Dick Whittington and the Haunted Pirate Ship, an action adventure espcially aimed at the family audience.

The show has all the ingredients of the traditional pantomime with a few spooky surprises thrown in.

Before he sets off on his way to London, Dick has to sail the seven seas surrounded by ghosts and ghouls aboard the haunted ship led by King Rat.

The lively, fun production, which inludes Britain’s Got Talent star Steven Hall, runs from Saturday, October 26 to Saturday, November 2. For details contact the North Pier box office on 01253 623304.
