An ultra-modern adaptation of a Lewis Carroll poem is being performed in Preston.

The Hunting of The Snark comes to the Charter Theatre in Preston Guild Hall ready for half-term.

It’s one of two events at the venue for the October half-term.

The theatre show is fresh from London’s West End and is the impossible voyage of an improbable crew to hunt an imaginary creature.

Suitable for four to 94-year-olds the show is on Tuesday 31 October at 2pm.

Also taking place is Comedy for Kids in the Guild Hall’s Lancaster Suite.
