Tonight St Helens Council are hosting a special party and performance of the Lion King in the town hall for local children and their families who are in need of a little extra love and support this Christmas.

Council Leader David Baines says: “Thank you to our amazing Council events team for organising, and to all those helping to make it special, not least Miguel Doforo and the MD Creatives team for putting on the performance of the Lion King.

Tonight is all about giving children and their families an event to remember, and will hopefully make their Christmas a little bit special.”
