IN BRIEF
JOIN THE CHRYSANTHS
FOR DICK WHITTINGTON!
Dick Whittington is heading to New Brighton next
month to see if the streets are paved with gold.
Join Dick and his Cat for a performance full of adventure, fun, dancing and
side splitting laughter as the Chrysanths Panto Society star at the Floral
Pavilion. The family orientated panto is running from 10th - 13th January
2019 and is filled with local talent, dancing, comedy and all sorts of bright
costumes and special effects.
The Chrysanths which has been nominated five times for the best
pantomime society, is the oldest in the country and was founded in New
Brighton in 1918. During these difficult times a group of people got
together in a garden to relieve some of the pressures of war time. The
garden was filled with the scent of Chrysanths during the show, hence the
adopted name of the society.
Ticket prices for the show are just £12.00 with £7.50 concessions, especially
kept at low prices so all families can be assured of a bumper time when they
relax together, and local charities benefit too.

try to make the experience as pleasant as possible. These beautiful trees
will be displayed at our hospital entrances throughout the holidays,
welcoming everyone who passes through our doors.

donation which will help bring the spirit of Christmas to patients, their
families and our staff who will be working around the clock throughout
the festive period.”
