They have promised a fantastic show featuring lots of music and games, fun and laughter in the traditional panto style, and which might even include a visit from Santa himself! The famous rivalry between Peter Pan and Captain Hook forms the basis of this show, highlighting the spiteful nature of Tinkerbell who changes sides to suit her own needs, and then there's the excitement of the crocodile..!
