Christmas Heroes 2025: A spellbinding year of support
2026 January 7We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who supported our Christmas Heroes Appeal in 2025.
Our annual Christmas Heroes appeal returned in 2025 with the aim of helping hundreds of local children and families experience the joy and magic of theatre during the festive season. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our local community — more than 600 of you — we’re thrilled to share that we raised an amazing £13,232.
Because of your support, we were able to work with 18 local community groups and charities, inviting over 800 children and family members to enjoy the magic of pantomime together.
“Being able to come to the pantomime together has made such a difference to our happiness, thank you!” - Christmas Heroes recipient
“The families had such a lovely time, and it was great to see the children and parents enjoying spending time together.” - Christmas Heroes recipient
Pantomime creates magic, offers escapism, and inspires children and young people. This year, children and their families – who needed it the most - were treated to our 2025 pantomime Beauty and the Beast, complete with a VIP ticket, show programme, and ice cream.
Christmas Heroes is a year-round appeal. In 2026, we’ll be raising funds to bring even more children and families to the theatre to enjoy our winter pantomime, Aladdin.
Thank you for helping us to create magical memories to last a lifetime.
