A drive-in performance of a Christmas pantomime will tour outdoor venues across the UK.
The Car Park Panto show will visit locations including Birmingham, Bristol, Liverpool, Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Cardiff.

The pantomime will tell the story of a young boy trying to save Christmas and will also explore some of the history behind the festive season.
Audience members will have their tickets scanned through their car windows upon arrival at the outdoor venue.
Cars will then be parked more than two metres apart and audience members will watch the show from inside their vehicles, picking up sound from the performance via their radios.
Toilet facilities and food and drink will be available on site but social distancing measures will be in place.

Venues and dates for the performances are yet to be announced.
