With so much happening throughout the festive period we have collated some ideas, along with some fabulous competitions, to take the stress out of choosing some super cool, fun, festive trips out. Be sure to check out all the listings on our news & events page.

Snow White at Chequer Mead, East Grinstead
Snow White will be spectacularly brought to life with an abundance of slapstick comedy, sensational song and dance numbers, fabulous costumes and stunning scenery.

Throw in a magical mirror, the magnificent seven and plenty of audience participation with East Grinstead favourites Kevin Gauntlett as Dame Nursie and Callum Donnelly as Muddles, and you have the perfect recipe to outwit the Wicked Queen and let love prevail in this glittering festive treat for all ages.

The performance lasts 2 hours and 15 minutes, with one interval.

We have two tickets to give away to the 10am ‘quiet show’ on Sunday 17 December. The quiet show is similar to a relaxed performance. The idea is to create a more informal theatre setting for young children and adults who would prefer a performance that is more of a relaxed show. Although it is not designed for those with special sensory needs, it may suit them.

During the quiet show:

  • The houselights stay on at a low level throughout
  • The theatre refrain from using really loud sound effects and the overall volume is slightly reduced
  • The cast still use the auditorium aisles during certain parts of the performance
  • Pyrotechnics are not used
  • Smoke effects are still used
