WELCOME Firstly, thank you to everyone who came out to make our latest pantomime, Jack & The Beanstalk another box office success! For the first time in our history, our pantomime from Paul Holman Associates continued into the new year, allowing us to welcome over thirteen thousand people through our doors. If you somehow missed the giant-sized adventure or just can’t wait to do it all over again - we’ve got you covered. This year, you’re invited to look into the magic mirror as tickets for Snow White 2024/25 are already on sale and selling fast. Away from the stage, you’ll notice work on our new 150seat Education Centre & Studio Theatre is well underway with
the shell of the building up and looking great, marking a crucial step forwards in our ambitious redevelopment campaign. In the rest of this brochure, you will find information on various shows coming to our venue, including everything from world-renowed ballet to awardwinning comedians. We’d also like to say thank you to everyone who continues to support our theatre. Whether you’ve picked up this brochure, bought a ticket, made a donation or shared a post on our social media channel, every interaction does help. The Lowther Team Jack and the Beanstalk (2023) by Paul Holman Associates. Photo by Claire Griffiths.
