Car Park Panto Comes to York This Christmas!

Following a SOLD-OUT tour in 2020, rave reviews and overwhelming support for this new-fangled approach to live theatre, CAR PARK PANTO in partnership with Birmingham Stage Company are pleased to announce that Horrible Histories Horrible Christmas is coming back to a car park near you this December and January!

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. 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.

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!

Neal Foster, Actor/Manager, Birmingham Stage Company says:
“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!”
