National Lottery players to get free tickets to Mayflower Theatre panto this Christmas

Sleeping Beauty

In response to the £30 million raised each week for Good Causes across the UK, National Lottery players will have the opportunity to attend their local panto free of charge this Christmas as a thank you.

Taking part in the scheme is Southampton’s Mayflower Theatre with their Christmas production of Sleeping Beauty, starring Joe Pasquale, Lesley Joseph and many more.

The specially created one-act panto opens on Saturday 19 December. With 1,200 tickets up for grabs, National Lottery players will need to visit the ‘Ticket Giveaway’ page on the Mayflower’s website. Applicants will need to be available for any performance as specific dates cannot be selected. An online queuing system will be in place and, once through, the players can select their bubble number of tickets and those lucky enough to have registered in time will be notified if they are successful.   

Tickets will be available on a first come first served basis from 10.00am tomorrow (Tuesday 8 December) and players will need to present a valid National Lottery product alongside their pantomime tickets when attending the theatre.

Mayflower Theatre Chief Executive Michael Ockwell said: “We’re delighted to join up with The National Lottery to offer their players the chance to win free tickets to see our production of Sleeping Beauty this Christmas.  National Lottery players make a huge contribution and this is a thank you for the £30m they raise each week, helping support projects at the forefront of the coronavirus pandemic.  

“We are thrilled to be able to provide audiences with festive entertainment during what has been a challenging time for the sector and we are incredibly grateful to The National Lottery for their support, without which we would not have been able to proceed.”

Tickets for Sleeping Beauty are also on general sale here.
