We took our Grand Children to the Christmas Panto and we all had a terrific evening at a traditional pantomime. The two children were enthralled right from the start when some of the cast, especially King Rat's Wife came walking through the audience introducing themselves. It was an pantomime aimed at children, and our grand daughter aged 6 and grand son aged 5 were involved all the way through - stamping their feet, shouting 'he's behind you' hissing and booing at every point - and were totally engrassed all the way through. It's a long panto, nearly three hours, and to keep them absorbed completely shows how good the cast and characters were. They haven't stopped talking about the evening and have both written about their time at The Grand in their homework books to tell their teachers and friends at school when they return. Festive theatre at it's best. A brilliant evening and thank you to The Grand - It was GRAND!
