The Century Theatre in Coalville is staging a production of Beauty and the Beast over the next two weekends.

From the team behind the last three record-breaking Century Theatre pantomimes, this year's Christmas offering is a tale as old as time… Beauty and the Beast.

After an Enchantress curses the cold-hearted Prince to a life as a hideous Beast, he must learn to love somebody else for what is on the inside, and earn their love in return.

Belle may be the perfect match for him, but will she see beyond his frightening exterior? Will Silly Billy finally crack his Christmas invention and will Dame Polly Petite find the man of her dreams?!

This year's production sees the return of some regular Century Panto performers, plus beautiful costumes and scenery, fabulous songs and dances, and lots of magic… book today!
