Christmas Pantomimes and Performances
The Pantomime is a wonderful British institution! Taking place around the Christmas period, they are almost always based on well-known children’s stories such as Cinderella, Aladdin and Sleeping Beauty. Audience participation is very important! If you’re going to the Panto be ready to boo the villains, shout out ‘he’s behind you’ and generally get involved in the fun!
Have an amazing, fun time at the following Pantomimes taking place in North East Lincolnshire this Christmas. Scroll down further for more performances on during the festive period.
