Tickets for Lichfield Garrick panto soaring

Tickets for the Lichfield Garrick's Christmas production of Peter Pan are flying out of the theatre's box office.

Panto sales are up by almost 1,400 tickets when compared to sales for Aladdin this time last year.

Adrian Jackson, artistic and executive director at the Garrick, said: "We're selling around 1,000 tickets a week, and already 28 of our performances have sold out.

"We know lots of local people want to book seats for Peter Pan, so if you haven't booked them already, we'd recommend you buy them online at www.lichfieldgarrick.com or call the box office team on 01543 412121 to avoid disappointment."

Peter Pan is set to star CBBC's BAFTA award winning presenter Barney Harwood. Barney will take on the lead role of Peter Pan, while his father, Barnaby, will return to the Garrick in the role of Smee.
