Blackpool Grand Theatre Peter Pan Pantomime Launch

The stars from Peter Pan were on hand to help launch this year's Grand Theatre pantomime at a special family fun day in Blackpool's Stanley Park .

It was great afternoon, in fact. Ged Mills was there on the Radio Wave outside broadcast stage playing some great music and explain what was going on.

There was face painting and a cartoon artist for the kids and the Grand Theatre's own Matcham Monkey.

The main stars of the show: Tom Lister, Steve Royle, Radio Wave's Hayley Kirkham and Jordan Lee Davies mixed with the crowds, posing for countless photos and members of the supporting cast also toured the park in costume interacting with the children and helping to promote the pantomime.

There was also a fancy dress competition to win a free family ticket to the pantomime in December and many of the children (and some parents as well...) came dressed as pirates of fairies.

We recorded some great interviews with cast members and will be posting then on here shortly, so please check back.
