Horrible Histories Car Park Panto take-off

A DRIVE-in pantomime is coming to Hampshire this Christmas.

Horrible Histories will be hitting the road in December to bring a Horrible Christmas to car parks around the country.

The pantomime will be arriving at Southampton Airport on Christmas Eve (Friday, December 24). There will be two showings, one at 2pm and another at 5pm.

Horrible Christmas is a unique Covid secure experience, where kids (and 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.

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, which is produced in partnership with Birmingham Stage Company, is amazing value for money, with the price of ticket covering the car, not the number of family members you cram inside!

Tickets cost £49.50 per car – £2.50 booking fee applies.

Neal Foster, actor/manager, Birmingham Stage Company said: ‘We were amazed and thrilled how totally successful the Car Park Party productions proved to be during the last eighteen months – and we’re delighted to be back on tour again with our Horrible Histories production of Horrible Christmas! It turns live theatre into a truly unique and festive event!’

A description of Horrible Christmas says: ‘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?

Tickets are available from Car Park Panto’s website.
