A special mini-pantomime is set to bring festive cheer.

The Priory Park Panto Experience will take place at the Guildhall in Priory Park, Chichester, from December 13 to 15.

The one-hour show, commissioned by Chichester District Council, was written by Chichester-based actors Katie Bennett and Vicky Edwards.

Among the festive cast of characters are Fairy Sparkle, who dreams of being the fairy on top of the tree; and Norman the naughty elf, who "is plotting to ruin everything" - leaving it in the hands of the audience to save the day.

Ms Bennett said: "I was delighted to be approached by Chichester District Council to create a short family-friendly entertainment production that could be achieved in The Guildhall."

The show, which is suitable for all ages, will take place on December 13 at 6pm, December 14 at 11am, 1.30pm, 3.30pm, and 6pm, and December 15 at 11am, 1.30pm, 3.30pm, and 6pm.

Tickets cost £9.50 per adult and £7 per child.

Tickets for carers and personal assistants are £7 each.

Babes in arms go free.
