Enjoy Sleeping Beauty ? Many of you did, with a bumper year for The Brindley panto. We have announced next year’s production already and it’s the magical tale of ‘Beauty And The Best’

This year’s production, starring Crissy Rock, Andrew Curphey and Rebecca Lake was a hit, with thousands again going to see it.

The cast also got involved in community events, such as Panto In The Park, in Widnes, starting our famed Halton fireworks in November and appearing in Runcorn Hill Park and Shopping City.
