Panto in February? Oh yes it is!
Did you know that Pannal Players has put on an annual pantomime at Pannal Village Hall in Harrogate for almost 40 years?
Raising money for the teenage and young adult cancer service at St James’s Hospital in Leeds, in memory of former Pannal Payers member Joanna Luty, this year’s story is Cinderella.
The panto takes place at Pannal Village Hall every year
Taking place over four days, expect catchy tunes, cheeky jokes, a little chaos, and plenty of sparkle.
From £6, February 19-22, Pannal Village Hall, Station Road, Pannal, Harrogate, HG3 1JG.

Get crafty
Are you looking for an alternative activity to do with the kids this half term? Then why not make a bird box at Brimham Rocks?
Recommended for children over the age of six, the team will help each child to make their own bird box to take home with them, which will offer a safe place for birds to raise their young this spring and beyond.
£10, various times on February 21, and last approximately 45 minutes, Brimham Rocks advises booking in advance; however, if there are spaces available on the day, these can be booked at the welcome hut. Normal car parking charges apply. Brimham Moor Road, Summerbridge, Harrogate, HG3 4DW.
