Oh no, you won’t…
… Oh yes, you will! Have a wonderful time that is, as the first of Peterborough’s pantomimes to kick off does so in style. Following the success of last year’s incredibly silly musical madness, Team Key Panto are once again mingling singing, acting and instrument-playing live on-stage, with some very special, special effects…

The Lost Tudor Princess
Alison Weir, high-profile and accomplished speaker and novelist, is guaranteed to have you intrigued and spellbound by this talk from the outset. She’ll explore the life of Margaret Douglas, Countess of Lennox, Henry VIII’s neice and a secret power player in the Tudor court.

The band plays on
A rare treat and a fantastic opportunity to see the world-famous and award-winning Grimethorpe Colliery Band (stars of the film Brassed Off) in concert. Take tissues, as there are bound to be some real lip-wobblers among the repertoire.
