This year Mansfield Palace Theatre will launch a production of Beauty and the Beast starring Tracy Beaker star Dani Harmer and Mansfield’s much-loved comedian Adam Moss.
From soap stars to comedy legends – we’ve had them all over the years… Oh yes we have.
And with ‘panto’ season just around the corner, we thought it would be a ‘fitting’ time to look back at some of the town’s past pantomimes.
Did you attend any of these shows?
