Pantomime named in local top-10 list

PANTO fun . . . the cast of “Aladdin” at Oldham Coliseum

 OLDHAM is one of the best places to celebrate Christmas, according to a poll of Greater Manchester’s top festive attractions.

The borough’s “Aladdin” pantomime at the Coliseum has been named among the top 10 Yuletide favourites in a survey by bus operator First.

The traditional panto, which features family favourites Widow Twankey and Wishee Washee, was ranked alongside Manchester’s Christmas markets and ice-skating at the Trafford Centre.

To help revellers make the most of this year’s most popular attractions, First has put together a guide to getting out and about this Christmas.
