Charlotte Dalton as Jill Pic: Michael Porter

This year’s Preston panto has broken box office records at the city’s Guild Hall.

Jack and the Beanstalk, produced in-house by comedian Phil Walker, has been met with rave reviews – and ticket sales. This year’s panto, the first taking the show back in-house, has sold 3,000 more than the previous year.
