Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime this Christmas as Cambridge Arts Theatre whisks you away on a magical journey for this year’s spectacular family pantomime: DICK WHITTINGTON!

Hearing that the streets are paved with gold, our down-on-his-luck hero Dick Whittington sets off to London in search of fame, fortune, adventure… and true love! But the dastardly King Rat and his band of evil ratlings will let nothing stand in the way of world domination and soon the streets of the capital are overrun with rats causing chaos and mayhem across the City.

It’s up to Dick and his friends to save the day, and you’re all invited to join him on his adventures!

Featuring all your favourite pantomime characters and Cambridge Arts Theatre’s trademark blend of songs, laughter, joy and magic, make it a Christmas to remember with a visit to the home of family entertainment. It’s the purrr-fect festive treat!
