Things to do in Fife: Ten of the best things to do around the Kingdom this week
Kirkcaldy’s 2021 panto, Ya Wee Sleeping Beauty, is currently running at the Kings Theatre Live Lounge, starring Fife's favourite dame Billy Mack. It may be small in scale, with just a cast of five, but it’s packed full of panto tradition and promises a great night out for the whole family. The team behind the production have also ensured it chimes with the local audience as it features many Kirkcaldy and Fife references. It runs from now until January 15.
