If you’ve ever wanted to go behind the scenes at the theatre, now’s your chance.


The Orchard in Dartford is inviting families to enjoy backstage tours, competitions, exhibitions and fun-packed activities at its open day on Sunday.


People will also be able to get a sneak peek at the 3D special effects which will light up the stage in this year’s Christmas pantomime, Aladdin.


Craft workshops will also be running, so youngsters can explore their creative sides.


The event runs from 11am to 3pm on Sunday, September 2 and is free to enter.


Craft workshops for children between three and six-years-old take place at 11.45am, 1pm and 2.15pm.


Places must be pre-booked by calling 01322 220000.
