This year Nottingham Playhouse will be donating 100 free panto tickets to family support charity Home-Start Nottingham, giving many local children the opportunity to see visit the theatre and see a pantomime that they might not ordinarily get to experience. It will also be offering free tickets to a range of other charities across the city and county.
Nottingham Playhouse now offers free programmes to all its audience members for all in-house and co-production shows. It also offers a Pay What You Can scheme, for one performance of each of its main stage shows, in order to reach out to members of the public who might not ordinarily be able to afford a visit to the theatre.
