AS half term approaches in Thurrock, it's set to be a busy time at the Thameside Theatre in Grays.

Daily shows and productions at the Thameside Theatre this October will close out a busy month that has already seen a very successful run by TOPS on Stage with their production of The Addams Family.

Tickets are now available for upcoming events such as:

• LGBTQIA+ cinema and social evening screening of the film 'Transamerica' (Cert 15) on Tuesday 25 October
• Wicked Wednesdays screening of Coco (Cert PG) and Ghostbusters (Cert 12A) on Wednesday 26 October
• Little Smash Comedy Live, an evening of stand-up comedy on Thursday 27 October
• Once Upon a Princess, an all-singing, all-dancing musical production on Friday 28 October
• Halloween Howls, promising a spooky afternoon of fun, magic tricks and competitions for the whole family on Saturday 29 October

Thurrock Council's cabinet member for communities, Cllr Qaisar Abbas, said: "Whether you're looking to settle the little ones down with a movie, get everyone up and singing in a musical production or bring the family together for Halloween spooktacular fun and games, the Thameside Theatre has got you covered this coming half term.

"With tickets available from as little as £5, I recommend residents taking a look at everything that's on offer this month and throughout the coming winter season, and booking their tickets today."

Tickets for upcoming shows can be booked online or at the Thameside Theatre Box Office counter.
