STARS of this coming Christmas’s Pantomime at Thwaites Empire Theatre, 'Jack and the Beanstalk', will be bringing some festive fun to the weekend's 'Countryside Comes to Town' Festival in Blackburn Town.
The celebration which takes place on Saturday (June 20) across the town centre, sees a range of countryside attractions bringing good “green” family fun .
Sarah the Cook and Daisy the Cow, stars of the panto, will be meeting the crowds in thre afternoon during the festival.
The Thwaites Theatre’s pantomime is always well-attended and this year’s show will be produced by Pendle Productions, behind some of the theatre’s most popular recent family shows and pantomimes.
Theatre chairman Michael Berry said, “We are thrilled to have launched our pantomime, Jack and the Beanstalk, for 2015 which will run from 2 December 2015 right through to 3 January 2016.
Tickets are already selling fast and our specially priced family deals are proving extremely popular. It will be fun to see our festive panto stars at the heart of a summer festival.”
'Countryside Comes to Town', organised by Blackburn Business Improvement Distrcit (BID), hopes to attract thousands of people to flood into the town centre to enjoy a range of attractions and meet CBeebies star Mr Bloom.
