The Lyric Hammersmith’s panto returns for a sixth spectacular year. This time it’s Dick Whittington And His Cat heading to W6 for some annual festive fun.

The tales of the famous rags to riches title character and his feline friend is brought to the stage by writer Tom Wells, whose credits include the Bush Theatre’s popular comedies Jumpers For Goalposts and The Kitchen Sink.

Suitable for children aged six and older, the show promises colourful characters, live music and a very evil Queen Rat.
