Pantomime season is just around the corner in Bristol, with a number of shows set to draw big pre-Christmas audiences.
For many children, the panto is often their first experience of live theatre and for many parents and grandparents, it’s an opportunity to catch some of the biggest stars of stage and screen.
This year’s Bristol Hippodrome pantomime is Goldilocks and the Three Bears starring Brian Conley, and he’s the latest big name to appear at the theatre over the festive season.
Here’s a round-up of some of the big stars to appear at the Hippodrome panto over the past few years - how many did you see and which were your favourites?
