Saturday 27 November, from 9.30am, Halle at St Michaels, George Leigh Street, Ancoats
A chance for little ones to make as much noise as possible without getting told off!

It costs £4 a session and you need to register in advance - email [email protected]
The Not So Ugly Sisters
Daily til 1 January, Waterside, Sale
A twist on the usual panto tales, Cinderella gets a shake-up in this fast-paced family show where the action centres around Dolly and Barb in their hairdressing salon on the day of their sister Cindy’s wedding to Prince Smarming. It’s just under an hour so should hold the attention of younger family members. Tickets are £12-14 and show times vary: see the Waterside website.
