Polka Dot Pantomimes in association with the Guildhall Arts Centre are delighted to present this year’s spellbinding family pantomime BEAUTY AND THE BEAST.
Celebrating 10 years as the Pantomime Dame in Grantham, John Highton returns as Dolly Doughnut. He will be joined by some very special pooch pals who will be playing Belle's best friend.
The show features spectacular scenery, glittering costumes, amazing special effects and plenty of audience participation! This is family pantomime at its best, so book your tickets now and be our guest for Grantham’s finest festive treat!
