DECEMBER 22nd - 27th 2026

HADLEIGH OLD FIRE STATION

PANTO LOOKING FOR SPONSORS

If you want to reach customers that care about encouraging new ideas, that attend local cultural events and support small businesses then consider sponsoring our All-Female Panto!!

Coming to Hadleigh this December; we'll put your businesses, product or event under the spotlight in front of the coolest audience in town.

We make professional theatre in the heart of Hadleigh. This year’s WHODUNNIT PANTO is our fifth production at Hadleigh Old Fire Station.


Since 2022 we have transformed the space into a pop-up theatre for the annual pantomime. It is a small, professional production, with limited funds but big ambition, attracting between 500 - 600 audience members each year. We write fresh, bold shows that develop new ideas whilst staying relevant to modern audiences.

Since we’ve started, 14 Essex based theatre makers have had their first job in professional theatre and 15 cast members had never performed in pantomime before. ​Many of them have gone on to further training or employment within the theatre industry.
 
We’re particularly proud of the work we do to support female creatives, as there continues to be a lack of opportunities for women - especially in comic roles. Research shows in 2023, of 283 pantos only 7 advertised a female comic.
 
We love making theatre.
 
And audiences love our shows with many returning each year.
 
With a reduction in external funding this year, we’re looking for three sponsors who also love theatre and want more of it in our community.​​​
