Following a sold out tour in 2020, rave reviews and overwhelming support for this new-fangled approach to live theatre, Car Park Panto is heading to Leicestershire this Christmas.
Horrible Christmas is a unique Covid secure experience, where kids (& adults) are able to jump and down in their own seats, cheer and make as much noise as they like (beep those horns!). Not strictly speaking a typical panto, it will still get everyone into the festive spirit from the comfort and security of their own cars. The Leicestershire event is taking place at Mallory Park Circuit, Kirkby Mallory, on Monday 27 December at 2pm and 5pm.
With the closing of theatres across the country in 2020, Birmingham Stage Company and Coalition Presents worked together to save Christmas for over 17,000 families by putting on the worlds first drive-in panto. Christmas is often the first time a child experiences live theatre and sometimes the cost of taking a family can be prohibitive over the festive period, what with all the other expenses; Car Park Panto is amazing value for money, with the price of ticket covering the car, not the number of family members you cram inside!
Horrible Christmas tells the tale of when Christmas comes under threat from a jolly man dressed in red, it’s up to one young boy to save the day – but can he save Christmas? From Victorian villains to Medieval monks, Puritan parties to Tudor treats, join us on a hair-raising adventure through the history of Christmas in the company of Charles Dickens, Oliver Cromwell, King Henry VIII and St Nicholas as they all join forces to save the festive season!
It’s a celebration of Christmas in the most wonderful, funny and moving way you’ll ever see!
Grab the reigns and secure your space for the best drive-in event of the season. There are limited tickets for each show priced at £49.50 per car (£2.50 booking fee applies). Tickets & T&C’s are available at carparkparty.com
