Drive-in pantomime taking place at Bristol's Ashton Gate this Christmas

Ashton Gate's turf is usually graced by professional football and rugby players - but in the week leading up to Christmas it will instead play host to top actors and plenty of festive cheer.

The home of Bristol City FC and Bristol Bears has announced plans for a drive-in pantomime of Cinderella.

Through a combination of movie and live performance, the Flix Drive-In Pantomime will entertain the whole family - ugly stepsisters and all - from the safety and comfort of your own car.

This performance has been adapted to bring panto to families in a safe way this Christmas, so there is no need to even leave your carriage during the event.

Cinderella is coming to Ashton Gate (Ashton Gate)

There’s no finding your seat, no queuing for popcorn and no risk of losing your glass slipper, as you can order your refreshments to be delivered straight to your car by the stadium's trusty elves.

The cast includes Helen Noble, who played Abby Davies in Hollyoaks, as well as experienced West End actors James Wolstenholme and Gary Tudor.

And for the real tree topper, key worker Santa will be making a special appearance on the big screen, as he takes time out of his busy schedule making toys with the elves to wish everyone a very merry Christmas straight from the North Pole.

The socially distanced show is set to run every day at both 3pm and 7pm from Friday, December 18 until Thursday, December 24 at £50 plus £2 booking fee per car.

Tickets go on sale today (November 6) on Ashton Gate's website or by calling 0117 963 0600 > Option 4 > Option 1.

Full refunds will be available for everyone should any Government restrictions mean the event cannot go ahead.
