Peter Pan Christmas Panto at Altrincham Garrick

Some of our members were lucky enough to enjoy tickets to the Christmas Panto! It was a real treat and the families that went really enjoyed it.

Huge thanks to the Family Information Service for making this Christmas magic, happen!

One family said, “Thanks for sharing the info about the tickets for Peter Pan. We went last night, kids had a great time - it was loud!!”

Thank you to the families that shared these lovely snaps of their Christmas treat with us.
