Polka Dot Pantomimes’ Snow White breaks record box office sales at South Holland Centre third year running

A theatre enjoyed record box office sales for the third year running - with a total of 12,317 pantomime tickets sold.

Polka Dot Pantomimes produced 40 performances of Snow White at the South Holland Centre in Spalding in December entertaining audiences throughout the festive period.

Ticket sales represented 86% of all available tickets - an increase in comparison to Beauty and the Beast which sold 78% of all tickets in 2023.

Joanne Mackel, centre manager, 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.”

The series of performances attracted 28 schools and community groups, including Ayscoughfee Hall Schools, Quadring Primary, Mencap, Fleet Wood Lane Primary, Moulton Chapel Primary, The Chappell Centre, and Bourne Academy.

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.

“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.”

This year’s production will be a ‘hair-larious’ production of Rapunzel, with special discounts for schools, groups and families.
