This December, the SETU Arena will come alive with the sparkle, laughter, and festive magic of Jack and the Beanstalk, the South East’s premier pantomime. As the region gears up for a star-studded season featuring Danny O’Carroll, Richie Hayes, Sharon Clancy, Evan O’Hanlon, and 45 talented local young performers, organisers are inviting businesses across the Southeast to help ensure that school children from across Waterford can experience the wonder of the panto through the ‘Magic of Panto’ corporate sponsorship programme.
‘Magic of Panto’ allows companies to sponsor tickets (priced at €15) for school children who would not otherwise have the opportunity to attend. This initiative offers a unique chance for businesses to give back to the community while spreading festive joy to young audiences. With the pantomime running from 17 to 30 December 2025, including matinee and evening performances, companies can make a real difference and be part of an unforgettable seasonal celebration.
Richie Hayes, lead performer and Waterford native, said: "The magic of theatre is something every child deserves to experience. With the support of local businesses, we can make sure that as many children as possible get to share in the joy and laughter of this year’s panto."
Businesses interested in joining Magic of Panto and sponsoring seats for school children during the school performance dates of December 17th and 18th are encouraged to contact the organisers soon to secure their involvement. Tickets are available for sponsorship at www.pantoland.net, and further information can be obtained via email at info@pantoland.net or by calling: 087 706 5897.
