People of Hartlepool are being encouraged to nominate ‘local COVID heroes’ who will be rewarded with complimentary tickets to this summer’s pantomime extraordinaire, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

The family pantomime, which runs from Friday 20th to Monday 30th August at Hartlepool Borough Hall, features Steph Aird in her pantomime debut as the Magic Mirror and Hartlepool’s own Britain’s Got Talent finalist, impressionist Danny Posthill.

As a special ‘thank you’ to the NHS and other individuals for their outstanding work during the COVID pandemic, the Ceremonial Mayor of Hartlepool Councillor Brenda Loynes has organised complimentary tickets to a special performance of Snow White on Sunday 22nd August at 2pm in the Borough Hall.

The complimentary tickets are available to anyone who has made a significant contribution to fighting COVID or helping keep daily life functioning during the pandemic.

People can nominate either themselves or others. People should submit requests via the Borough Hall email address borough.hall@hartlepool.gov.uk, stating their name, occupation or contribution to the pandemic fight and the number of tickets required. We expect a high response and sadly cannot guarantee that all requests will be able to be fulfilled.

Those who receive the complimentary tickets will also have their names entered into a draw for two Hartlepool United season tickets, kindly donated by the Club to the Council.

Tickets cost £18 for adults, £15 for children or £59 for a family ticket (2 adults and 2 children). Book at www.hartlepoolboroughhall.com or call 01429 890000.
