Pantomime & Family Theatre in Derby

None of the panto venues on this list sit inside Derby itself, so this is a case of picking your drive. Nearest in is Century Theatre, a proper stage from £18 in Snibston Colliery Park at Coalville, with free parking right outside the door. Further afield there's a drive out to Tamworth Assembly Rooms, an old theatre in the middle of town doing pantos, films, comedy and music for ages 0 to 16, and out at Mansfield, the Palace Theatre puts panto and kids' shows under one roof. For value, the Peepul Centre in Leicester starts from £7 and puts local kids in the cast of shows like the Enchanted Diwali Tree, plus parking for 120 cars if you're not keen on street parking. If you've got a teenager who fancies a workshop rather than just watching, Mansfield covers writing sessions too. Tamworth is the one to pick for babies right through teenagers under one roof, with a cafe on site for when the interval biscuits run out.
