Panto season is almost upon us. ("Oh no it isn’t!" "Oh yes it is!") To celebrate, iweekend has a round-up of the best Christmas shows to book now, including Aladdin in Glasgow, Jack and the Beanstalk in Belfast, Beauty and the Beast in Cardiff, and Peter Pan in Birmingham. We’ve also included dance and comedy shows in our selection, in case you fancy something a little more grown-up.
Speaking of comedy, we also have an interview with funny men Vic and Bob about the new series of Big Night Out on the BBC. The pair discuss getting older, never arguing, and their psychic connection. Oh, and their favourite type of biscuits.
In travel, we have a round-up of the best UK Christmas markets. Get into the festive spirit with mulled wine and roasted chestnuts. We also have a round-up of outdoor ice rinks in the UK.
Elsewhere in travel, we have a city guide to Washington DC and Simon Calder writes about rail delays.
In sport, we have an exclusive interview with Watford’s Nathaniel Chalobah and a guest column from boxer Deontay Wilder on his upcoming fight with Tyson Fury. We also have all the latest on this weekend’s autumn internationals. England play Australia, Wales play South Africa, and Scotland play Argentina.
Plus, as always, there’s our popular puzzles pull-out, handy 7-day TV guide, insightful comment section on the week’s biggest topics and useful money advice.
Whatever you are doing, we hope you have a wonderful weekend.
