“This is a lovely gesture from Sheffield Theatres which reflects the close relationship between the theatre and schools across the region. I am sure that children and staff will enjoy this New Year treat!”

Dan Bates, Chief Executive of Sheffield Theatres

“Every year we welcome thousands of school children from across the city to our panto, sadly due to current restrictions we are unable to welcome schools into our buildings this Christmas time, which is why I’m personally so excited that we’re sharing Damian’s Pop-Up Panto! with schools for free. Watching rehearsals I was smiling from ear to ear and laughing throughout and after what has been such a difficult year for us all, it is fantastic that we are able to bring some cheer to school children across our region.”

Damian’s Pop-Up Panto will be available for everyone to watch on demand from next week through to 3 January. Household passes will be priced from only £15 and further information will be available at sheffieldtheatres.co.uk from Monday 21 December.
