FAQ's

What's the running time of the panto?

Because rehearsals don't start until November, we can never really know the exact running time until after the first show. However, we generally expect the show to last between two and a half hours to two hours 45 minutes, including a 20-minute interval.

 

Can we come in fancy-dress?

Absolutely! During pantomime there is a brilliant atmosphere and many people (adults and children) turn up in fancy dress, themed either by pantomime or other fairy tales.

 

Where is the best place to park?

Please visit www.princeshall.com/carparking for up-to-date information on the best places to park.

 

It's my birthday, how do I get a mention?

Just let the Box Office know the name and age of the person who is celebrating either before you arrive or on the day. Remember, it's not just children that can have a mention, we like to know about any age birthday.

 

I'm coming with a group, how do we get a mention?

Groups of 10 or more may have a mention in the show. If you would like to be known as something special (or silly) then just let the Box Office know.

 

Do you offer accessible performances?
