We all love a panto and when it's on ice, it's doubly festive! Our #Advent image for today is a programme for Aladdin, the #Christmas Ice Show at SS Brighton in West St, 1949. It's behind you... #Pantomime #IceSkating #ChristmasInTheArchives
We have a wonderful collection of #WW1 posters in our archives, including this one, which is perfect for #StGeorgesDay! @BrightonMuseums @EastSussexWW1

And melted into one"
