Oh, yes it is! Panto season is finally here, and, after much anticipation, from this week onwards you‘ll be able to see what the creative team at The Key has been cooking up for for the festive season, for audiences young and old.

Cold, cold comfort
If you just can’t wait for winter to start properly, with all snow and ice and the rest, and you aren’t already an ardent ice hockey fan, get yourself over to Peterborough Ice Hockey Arena for some proper glove-wearing, extremity-tingling, foot-stamping, loud-cheering, adrenaline-pumping ice action. Peterborough Phantoms play the Slough Jets on home turf… I mean, ice.
