Swansea Panto Closing on Xmas Eve
Grand Theatre has to comply with Welsh Government's covid measures
This year’s pantomime at Swansea’s Grand Theatre will close following its performances on December 24.
One of the Welsh Government regulations announced today (note: Dec 22) was to limit the capacities of indoor venues.
This would have made it impractical to continue the run of Snow White from Boxing Day onwards.
Swansea Council runs the theatre and jointly took the decision with producers Crossroads Pantomimes.
Customers with tickets for performances after December 24 will be refunded.
Council cabinet member Robert Francis-Davies said: “There was no alternative but to close Snow White.
“Despite the hard work of everybody involved with the show, it’s impractical to continue after December 24.
“We thank all those involved for their efforts in helping to maintain safety at the theatre during the run – and we thank all those who bought tickets for shows after Christmas Eve.
“We know that the public will understand that this is the best decision for the producers and for the health of the community.”
