From a Christmas Day swim to a festive pantomime, there is plenty to enjoy in Weston-super-Mare this week.

Various Christmas performances are also on the agenda.

Winter Warriors Christmas Day Swim

A Christmas Day dip in Weston-super-Mare is set to raise money for RNLI Weston.

The event, organised by the Winter Warrior Challenge, starts at 9.30am on Thursday, December 25, at Cove West.

Participants are encouraged to wear Christmas hats and they will be joined by RNLI crew members.

Interested participants are advised to follow the RNLI's advice on cold water dipping if they decide to take part in a Christmas Day swim.

Cinderella

Weston's Playhouse's Christmas pantomime is into its final week.

Gareth Gates has taken on the role of Prince Charming in this year's production of Cinderella, with various shows running between Boxing Day and New Year's Eve.

Audiences can expect a rendition of the classic rags-to-riches tale, featuring musical numbers, interactive elements, and comedy.

Ticket prices vary, with concessions available for groups, children, and those over 60.

Family tickets are also available.

Where did the Snow Go?

A family Christmas show is continuing in Weston-super-Mare after a festive break.

Where did the Snow Go? is presented by Scarlett Oak Theatre Company and will be performed at the Front Room on various dates over the next week, until Tuesday, December 30.

The production tells the story of two friends on a quest for the perfect snowy day, using storytelling, music, clowning, and puppetry.

Described as suitable for ages two and over, the show promises "a slip sliding, snowball-throwing adventure."

Full timings and ticket details can be found at frontroomwsm.com/event/where-did-the-snow-go-4?ref=ed_direct.

Fête Club

A festive comedy show is also set to continue in Weston following Christmas.

Fête Club will be performed at the Front Room on December 27, 28, 29, and 30.

Performances begin at 7.30pm, with more details, including ticket information, available at frontroomwsm.com/whats-on?ref=ed_direct.

The show is a musical yuletide comedy from the creators of The Shaggy Dog Tale and Let There Be Mud.

Set in the village of Little Shambles, the Way of the Fête is threatened, and decades of village tradition are in jeopardy.

This quirky show requires the audience to "bring your own bunting" and promises a mix of humour and live music.
