THIS year’s pantomime in Paisley has been announced and it is a “festive favourite”.

PACE Theatre Company will be performing Beauty and the Beast from Thursday, November 30 until Sunday, December 31 in a new pop-up theatre.

The company, which usually holds a panto in the Paisley Art Centre, will be holding this year’s one in The Art Department, in The Paisley Centre.

Jenni Mason, Artistic Director said: “We’re thrilled to announce that this year’s panto will be Beauty and the Beast, which you can be sure will be jam-packed with laughs, music, and dancing.

“We believe panto offers an entertaining and affordable way for families and friends to celebrate the festivities together, with something for everyone to enjoy.

“We’re delighted to be returning to our pop-up space in The Art Department this Christmas, after the success of last year’s production of Cinderella, and are pulling out all the stops to create a fantastic experience for audiences from start to finish."
