Dick Whittington

Following last year’s record-breaking Beauty and the Beast, which welcomed over 27,000 attendees, this year’s magical tale of Dick Whittington promises to be even bigger, better, and bolder.

Embark on a rags-to-riches journey with Dick Whittington and his clever sidekick, The Cat. Together, they’ll travel from Newport in search of fortune and friendship. But will their road to success be paved with gold, or will they encounter some unexpected mischief along the way?

Expect:
🎭 **Hilarious hijinks**
✨ **Breathtaking scenery**
👗 **Stunning costumes**
