The 'Christmas Panto Pod' will feature on the London Eye this December

The 'Christmas Panto Pod' will see one of the attraction's 32 pods given a magical theatre-style makeover – decked out with velvet sears, spotlights and a mini stage, to create a show 443 feet above the city.

Panto Pod guests will be given the chance to watch the unique performance of 'Dick Whittington' by the stars of the famous Phoenix Arts Club of London's West End.

They will join Dick Whittington and his cat on his journey to and through the gold-paved city of London as he and his feline get richer through kindness.

Imran Tauqir, General Manager at the lastminute.com London Eye, said: "Nothing quite says Christmas like a trip to a great British panto, so we’re thrilled to be teaming up with the Phoenix Arts Club to offer our guests the chance to watch a magical pantomime performance as they soar across the London skyline! With the Panto Pod opening the week before Christmas, it’s the perfect way to get in the festive spirit."

The 'Christmas Panto Pod' will run from 14 to 18 December with performances at 1pm, 3.30pm and 5pm each day.
