THE man with black and white cat will drive his red van into Weston next month.
Postman Pat returns as the newly-promoted head of the Special Delivery Service (SDS) with his brand new show, A Very Royal Mission.
He will take to stage at The Playhouse on August 1.
In Pencaster, everyone has received a letter from the palace, delivered by Pat and his faithful cat Jess.
Someone special is coming to open the brand new SDS sorting office and they only have a short time to get themselves, and Pencaster, prepared for a very royal visit.
Mrs Goggins, Ted Glen and Ben Taylor are helping with the preparations, while PC Selby finally has something important to do! What could possibly go wrong?
But look out - just as everything is prepared, a storm hits Pencaster, throwing the royal visit into doubt.
Only one man can be counted on - the head of the SDS - Postman Pat of course - with a little help from his trusty sidekick Jess the Cat and his brand new helicopter!
Get ready for take off and join Pat and his friends in 90 minutes of fun and participation.
Tickets, priced £10, are available from the box office on 01934 645544.
