If you are visiting York in January there is still time to see the world-famous panto which ends on 24th January. This year it’s Dick Whittington (and his Meerkat) and stars the UK’s longest-serving pantomine dame Berwick Kaler. The venue for one year only is The Signal Box Theatre at the National Railway Museum as the local theatre is currently closed for redevelopment. Its a great night out – see more here
