60 Patrons & Friends joined the cast of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang for Afternoon Tea at the theatre recently.

This special fundraising event saw supporters enjoy finger sandwiches and a selection of truly scrumptious sweet treats before meeting the cast.

Lee Mead (Caracatcus Potts) Phill Jupitus (Baron Bomburst) Andy Hockley (Grandpa Potts) Scott Paige (Goran) and Mollie Melia-Redgrave (Ensemble) were joined by BBC presenter Jo Malin.  Guests enjoyed a fascinating series of interviews, with insights into rehearsals, performing and life on tour, plus a little backstage gossip!

There was then chance for selfies and autographs just before the cast of Chitty fly on to their next venue on the nationwide tour.
