Sean says: “We are so excited for the panto season to begin, and we have some news! After 12 wonderful years, both JP and I have decided that this year’s Peter Pan will be our last pantomime at the Spa Centre. Just like Peter, we’re off on some new adventures! So this Christmas, more than ever, we’d love you to join us one last time to make some truly special festive memories together.”

JP adds “For over a decade you’ve laughed with us, booed the baddies, and sung your hearts out, and we can’t thank you enough. So, let’s make this year truly unforgettable! We promise to bring you the biggest, boldest, and most magical show the Spa Centre has ever seen packed with heart, hilarity, and tonnes of glitter!”

Paul Roberts, Arts Manager, Arts Section, Warwick District Council says “JP and Sean have shared so many unforgettable panto moments with us here at the Spa Centre. For over a decade, they’ve been at the heart of our pantomime tradition and we’d love for everyone to join us this Christmas to give them the send-off they truly deserve and enjoy what promises to be a very special show. While we’ll miss them both, we’re excited for the future. Their wonderful legacy will continue as new casts bring amazing family favourites to life for many generations to come. The magic of pantomime at the Royal Spa Centre is here to stay!”
