Add some sparkle to your festivities this year and get together with family and friends and visit the Connaught and Pavilion Theatres in Worthing for some yuletide fun. The venues are presenting two fabulous and very different pantos this year.

At the Pavilion Theatre, Hammond productions return for the 12th consecutive year with their biggest panto ever, Aladdin. This musical extravaganza combines laughter and song to create a unique and magical pantomime experience. Cast members include former Neighbour's TV star Joe Mangel - actor Mark Little - and The Bill and Grange Hill's Kacey Barnfield.

Guest appearances by Noddy and Big Ears and Young Magician of the Year, Jonathan Shotton will add to all the drama and excitement and make for a truly magical show.

Prepare to cheer and boo in equal measure as you come face to face with Widow Twankey, a genie, a sultan and a whole host of character, including Aladdin.

This extravaganza will leave you shouting for more.

Worthing's Pavilion Theatre welcomes Aladdin to the stage, from December 12 to January 6.

Worthing's traditional panto at the Connaught Theatre is Robin Hood. This beautifully staged show, with its enchanting live music, stunning stage effects, dazzling costumes, and lots of thighslapping action, it's what Christmas is all about.

The exquisite performance stars TV darling and Worthing favourite, Vicki Michelle from 'Allo, 'Allo, and the lovely Emma Gilmour of Hollyoaks, along with panto regular Nicola Weeks as Robin Hood.

Add local boy Mitch Jenkins as the Nurse and Tikkabilla's Simon Davies as the Sheriff of Nottingham, and this ensemble cast will deliver a dazzling act. visit the website at www.worthingtheatres.co.uk
