Audiences can look forward to a show which features songs, dance, illusions, laughter and sorcery which will appeal to all ages.

The show will culminate in everyone being invited to a Christmas disco with Sunderland AFC’s mascots Samson and Delilah.

Rachel Divers, head of commercial sales at Sunderland AFC, said: “Everyone loves a good pantomime at Christmas, and ours will bring all kinds of magic, illusion, sorcery and fun to Sunderland in an afternoon of fun and entertainment which will appeal to the whole family.

“Our audiences will get the chance to really get involved and then join Samson and Delilah on the dance floor to end the afternoon in style with our disco.

“We can’t wait to get into the festive spirit and transport everyone away into this magical world for a fun afternoon which they’ll remember for a long time to come.”
