We are bringing some festive cheer to Southampton as the proud sponsors of this year’s highly anticipated Christmas pantomime – Jack and the Beanstalk – at the renowned Mayflower Theatre.
This spectacular production, featuring the world-famous dance troupe Ashley Banjo & Diversity alongside comedian and actor Kev Orkian, promises to be a magical experience for audiences of all ages. The pantomime will run from December 14th, 2024, to January 5th, 2025, and tickets are already on sale for what is set to be one of the season’s must-see shows.
Michael Ockwell, Chief Executive and Creative Director of Mayflower Theatre, said: “We are delighted that Bargate Homes have invested this year in our giant pantomime spectacular which is produced by the world’s biggest pantomime producer Crossroads Pantomimes. Bargate’s generous sponsorship of our pantomime helps us to provide inspiring experiences to Southampton audiences and the next generation of theatregoers. Over 74,000 theatregoers saw last year’s production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and we expect to smash that number this year, with many tickets already pre-booked. All performances are selling fast, so make sure you book early to avoid disappointment.”
Mark White, our Managing Director at Bargate Homes, said: “With many of our team living and working in Southampton, supporting Mayflower Theatre’s pantomime felt like a natural fit for us. A trip to the panto is a cherished Christmas tradition and as we are focused on building beautiful family homes, we’re delighted to support an event that brings so much joy to the community. We can’t wait to meet Jack, hear the Giant’s fee-fi-fo-fum, and revel in the hard work and talent of the entire production team and cast.”
