More than 12,000 people enjoyed this year’s pantomime at Spalding’s South Holland Centre.
The production of Cinderella was performed 40 times in September with 86 per cent of tickets sold, South Holland District Council say.
That’s up from 78 per cent last year.
The series of performances attracted 28 schools and community groups, including Ayscoughfee Hall School, Quadring Primary, Mencap, Fleet Wood Lane Primary, Moulton Chapel Primary, The Chappell Centre and Bourne Academy.
Joanne Mackel, manager for the South Holland Centre, said: “Snow White has made Christmas 2024 one to remember at the South Holland Centre.
“I am very grateful for the contributions from all members of staff and the amazing team at Polka Dot Pantomimes, for making Snow White our most successful pantomime yet.
“A big thank you to everyone who booked tickets, including all the local schools and community groups. I hope that you’re as excited as I am for The Wizard of Oz and Rapunzel, both of which are coming later this year!”
Darren Maddison, company director at Polka Dot Pantomimes, said: “We are thrilled that our production of Snow White received amazing feedback and that a record number of people attended the South Holland Centre at Christmas.
“We are very fortunate to work with incredibly talented casts, backstage staff, technical teams and the wonderful theatre staff and volunteers.
“As soon as one pantomime finishes, we begin working on the organisation of the next one and the hair-larious Rapunzel is the chosen 2025 title. Audiences are going to be wowed! With special discounts for schools, groups and families, the Spalding pantomime is the most competitively priced in the area as we believe theatre should be able to be enjoyed by everyone – and we can’t wait to welcome the local community again to the South Holland Centre.”
