The countdown to Christmas is on.

The stars of this year’s pantomime at The Churchill Theatre in Bromley have gotten into the spirit early, getting acquainted with their costumes and each other at the luxurious Warren in Hayes.

This year's panto is Sleeping Beauty and it stars Marc Baylis aka Corrie killer Rob Donovan, Pop Idol and West End star Zoe Birkett, 90s pop darling Sonia and showbusiness legend Bobby Crush.

Zoe said: “This is the first time I have done a panto down south. I literally live just 20 minutes round the corner.

“The northerners are quite crazy so I’m not too sure what to expect from Bromley but I’m sure they’ll be just as up for it."

Sleeping Beauty will run at the Churchill Theatre, Bromley, from Friday, November 28, until Sunday, January 4. Tickets cost from £15 to £26.50. Book online at atgtickets.com/Bromley, call 0844 8717620 or pop in.
