A chance to meet Salisbury panto star for a photo

Thursday, 14 December 2023 00:00

We are being given the chance to meet Salisbury Playhouse's star, Dick Whittington, AKA Will Carey, this Friday afternoon.

On Friday, 15th December, between 3.30 pm – 4.15 pm, the star of Salisbury Playhouse’s pantomime Dick Whittington (actor Will Carey, in character!) will be paying a visit to Howden Insurance, who are the official panto sponsors.

All kids (big and small) are welcome to visit him; get your photo taken, have a chat and spread a bit of panto cheer!

Howden Insurance, previously A-Plan, is based on the corner of Endless Street near the Guildhall Square.

There is still time to join Dick Whittington and his cool cat Cosmo, on the journey from Salisburyshire to London, in search of fame and fortune.

In the big city, disaster strikes, and the streets aren’t paved with gold but overrun with rodents. Can Dick defeat Evil King Rat and save the city of London?

You will have to go to find out – tickets can be bought here – https://www.wiltshirecreative.co.uk/events/dick-whittington
