TV star Paul Nicholas and The Three Degrees singer Sheila Ferguson were at the Grosvenor Centre for a Q&A and signing session, as was Jaymi Hensley from boyband Union J, who also performed a song for the crowd.

“It’s been a great day! It was lovely to see so many people at the Grosvenor Centre keen to meet our panto stars on their early visit to Northampton,” said Royal & Derngate’s Amanda Howson.
