Details and tickets

The Bow Bells are ringing at the Royal Hippodrome this Christmas. Dick Whittington and his cat head to London to find out whether the streets really are paved with gold, and there is a wicked Rat to deal with along the way.

The run goes from early December to the first weekend of January, so there are lots of dates to choose from. Expect songs, plenty of jokes and boo-and-hiss moments for all ages.

Good to know: Tickets are priced from £12 to £20.
