Pantomime & Family Theatre in Sheffield
Sheffield has its own homegrown panto in Manor Operatic Society, close to the centre, with big sets and kids under 16 going free on the concession rate. The Eppic Theatre, also in Sheffield, does pantomime and family shows from £16, booked by phone or online, while The Lantern is a community theatre nearer the centre still, though its bar only opens an hour before curtain up. Out at Barnsley, The Academy Theatre brings touring West End shows and pantomimes with a restaurant next door for the pre-show bit. If you want stage school alongside the shows, Noodle Performance Arts and Sheffield Performing Arts both run classes for kids and teens in Sheffield, with party packages on offer. Pyrotechnics at Carver Theatre in Stockport will spook anyone under about four, so that one suits older children better, and Partington Theatre in Glossop keeps tickets from £6 for youth drama and panto together. A drive out to Huddersfield gets you the Lawrence Batley Theatre, where under-2s go free on a lap and tickets start at £16.
