It’s a busy day in Bury! On Butter Market Square, Buttons the barrow boy flogs his fruit. On Hardwick Heath, Prince Charming frets over his future. And up at Sickworth House, Kylie and Miley are making Cinderella’s life a misery. Poor old Cinders! All she knows is domestic drudgery, day in, day out…but this day is different, this day is special and when this day is done, nothing will ever be the same again.

Join us for a tale laced with laughter and love; plus the ugliest sisters you’ll ever be likely to meet.

ACCESSIBLE PERFORMANCES – 

BSL Performance – Wed 8 Dec at 7pm

Relaxed Performance – Thu 6 Jan at 7pm & Fri 7 Jan at 10.30am

The Relaxed Performances are intended to be SEN and dementia friendly: sound volumes and lighting levels will be reduced to soften their impact, pyrotechnics, flashing lights, and other surprising elements are removed, and the auditorium lights will stay on during the performance. In addition to these changes, the show will begin with an introduction to the characters, explaining, in particular, any elements which may be unfamiliar to some, and there will also be a brief description of the story and events which will happen during the performance. Seats can be booked in a manner which allows groups their own space and due to the nature of the layout of the Dress Circle and Upper Circle boxes, a smaller semi-isolated space can be easily obtained. We also encourage customers to get up and move around should they feel the need to. A complimentary companion ticket is available to anyone who would be unable to attend the theatre on their own.

These performances are not bookable online, please contact booking@theatreroyal.org

Touch Tour (10.30am), Audio Described & Captioned Performance – Sat 8 Jan at 11am

COVID MEASURES

We want all our audiences to enjoy the pantomime this year so there’s a few simple measures we can all take to ensure that happens.

We encourage all audience members to wear a mask when moving around the building – particularly in the bar area.

All our customers-facing staff will be wearing masks.

The Auditorium will be sanitised between each audience.

We have adjusted our auditorium heating system to use 100% fresh air rather than recycled air.  The fresh air will be heated when it is drawn in. This means that as the temperature outside drops, the auditorium temperature may well feel cooler so customers are advised to wear layers to be able to adapt to fluctuating temperatures.

Please do not attend if you have tested positive for Covid or have covid symptoms.

Please take a lateral flow test the day before you attend just to be sure!

If we all work together – we WILL go to the ball 😊
