Robin Hood: Family Panto

Robin Hood: Family Panto opens in Liverpool on Saturday 28 November, with the first performance starting at 14:30. It's a family pantomime built around the story of Robin Hood, and the production is billed as a family adventure set in Sherwood Forest, with Robin Hood as the central character. If you've got kids to keep busy over the winter, it's one of those things you can take the whole lot to together.

Being a panto, it's built for a mixed crowd. The story is the one most of us know — Robin Hood and his band of Merry Men out in the woods, taking from the rich and giving to the poor, and the Sheriff of Nottingham trying to get them. It's the kind of thing that works as well for the little ones as it does for the adults, and it's set up as a family outing rather than a night out for one particular age group.

Tickets run from £13.50 to £49.00, depending on the ticket type you go for. The show starts at 14:30 on Saturday 28 November, so it's a matinee that gets you home well before dinner.
