Your carriage awaits as Lighthouse, Poole’s centre for the arts, is delighted to announce Cinderella as its enchanting family pantomime this Christmas. 

And following the success last year of its first panto produced entirely in-house, long-time Lighthouse friend Chris Jarvis will return to write and direct the show as well as appearing as Buttons.

Cinderella will be played by Charlotte Wood, the talented actor who appeared at Lighthouse last year in Beauty and the Beast

Meanwhile, Chris and Charlotte are appearing at the Bourne Free Family Show in Bournemouth’s Meyrick Park on Saturday 8 July from 5-7pm. 

Chris will be hosting the main stage entertainment headlined by comedy ventriloquist Max Fulham with Charlotte performing a set of songs, local entertainer Kev Stevens and the talented Steppin’ Out Academy.

It’s FREE to enter and gates open at 4.30pm; as well as the main stage there’s a fairground, crafts and sensory area with all proceeds being donated to Dorset Children’s Foundation.
