We regret to announce that this year's pantomime Beauty and the Beast has been postponed until 2021.

Our co-producer Martin Dodd from UK Productions explained: "Christmas won’t be Christmas without pantomime and it is with deep sadness that we are having to make the decision to postpone our award-winning production of Beauty and the Beast until next year. I know what a central part the pantomime plays at Christmas for so many families, and we are always so grateful that so many turn out year after year to support the amazing Anvil and our Christmas show. However in the light of the prevailing conditions we do not feel that we will be able to safely provide the high quality production that everybody has come to love and expect and we would be doing everyone a disservice if we had to scale it back. Regrettably therefore together with Anvil Arts we have had to come to this decision. However, will panto be back next year?… Oh yes it will!... and we very much look forward to seeing you all again.”

All tickets remain valid and will be transferred to next year's performances.
