Crafts, story readings, workshops, and an appearance from the cast of Wyvern Theatre's upcoming pantomime will entertain visitors to the Swindon site this weekend.

On Sunday, October 27, from 10am to 3pm, the theatre will host a day of free family activities, including competitions and interactive theatre tours, all themed around the pantomime Cinderella.

The event will also feature workshops from local children's author and storyteller Kate Claxton, as well as free drama workshops for children aged six to eight.

For older children, there will be a Halloween SFX workshop hosted by students at New College.

Theatre director Laura James said: "We can’t wait to welcome the local community to the Wyvern once again this half term for our annual family fun day.

"With a variety of free workshops, theatre tours, magical panto cast appearances, crafts, and much more, it's the perfect opportunity for families to engage with the theatre and to explore what we have to offer for all ages over the coming season."

For more information and to book children onto the free workshops, people can visit the theatre's website.

Tickets for Cinderella, which will run from December 7 to January 5, are available now.
