Pantomime Season

December is upon us which can only mean one thing, the start of pantomime season!

A trip to the theatre to see a pantomime seems to be a particularly British tradition for people up and down the country and it’s roots can be traced as far back as the 16th century!

Here’s a list of theatres that have our seating systems installed and the shows they will be performing, so you can be comfortable as well as entertained:
