With Christmas shows across the country cancelled last year, we bet you thought that your best panto days were behind you.

But no, they aren't - Pantomimes are back and they're bigger, cheesier and better than ever.

We have put together a list of the best festive productions in Berkshire that are starting from November onwards.

Here's how can have a magical experience with your family this Christmas with all the dates and prices you need.
