Members of the Manor Operatic pantomime have visited Sheffield Children’s Hospital for patients to enjoy a festive treat.

Several actors from the society’s annual pantomime, which this year is Cinderella, appeared in costume to entertain the kids with plenty of traditional panto banter as well as handing out goodies.

The visit was organised by city charity Ant Kids, which provides help for unwell, disadvantaged or socially deprived children.

Tracy Lilley from Ant Marketing said: “Visiting the Children’s Hospital today was a really humbling experience. The young patients were delighted to see the panto stars and it really brightened up their day.

“We are looking forward to seeing all the children who are coming along to the special performance of Cinderella organised by Ant Kids for those who really deserve a treat.
It is due to take place at Sheffield City Hall on December 30th after Sheffield International Venues (SIV) agreed to loan the building for free.

Ant Kids has raised the money to put on the special show thanks to generous donations and the sponsors who include SIV, Dutton International, The P&A Partnership, TW Ward CNC Machinery Ltd and CFC Financial

The charity is hoping to give out goody bags to the children who attend the pantomime and are keen to hear from any local businesses with items to giveaway.

The pantomime, which attracts around 25,000 each year, is the biggest amateur production in the country and will run from December 27 to January 3 at Sheffield City Hall.
