Here's this week's offering...
Islanders can enter the world of Willy Wonka without the need of a golden ticket as the Jersey Arts Centre presents its Christmas show, 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'.

Performances begin tonight and run until Saturday 21 December, with matinee and evening timings available.
A British Sign Language interpreted performance will take place on Friday 20 December, as well as a relaxed performance to suit those with additional requirements on Sunday 15 December.
