Here’s the perfect chance to immerse yourself in the Christmas mood and support a great Pompey cause at the same time.
A Royal Engagement: Kings at the Queens will see talented panto cast members from Portsmouth Theatres (Kings Theatre and Theatre Royal) putting on a special Christmas cabaret in the Winter Lodge at the Queens Hotel on Wednesday December 17th at 7pm.
Pompey Panto favourite Jack Edwards will compere the evening. Cast members from this year’s pantos (Aladdin at The Kings Theatre and Snow White at Theatre Royal) will be performing on the night and Portsmouth Theatre’s choir, Resonate, will lead the Christmas carols.
This event has become a highlight of the year at the Queens Hotel. It’s a fabulous opportunity to see the talented stars in an intimate setting and even enjoy a festive sing-along.
The evening will be in aid of Pompey in the Community and each ticket sold will come with the chance to win a shirt signed by all the Portsmouth players. There will also be an additional raffle to win family tickets for Aladdin and Snow White.
General Manager Paul Playford said: “We really love hosting this event and it is a highlight of our festive season. It’s an evening that all the family can enjoy and we love the fact that all proceeds will be going to such a great cause. There has been a long association between Pompey in the Community and the Queens Hotel, so it made perfect sense for them to benefit from funds raised on the night.”
Portsmouth Theatres’ CEO Richard Pearce added: “We’re delighted to once again be part of this wonderful tradition at The Queens Hotel, bringing together our panto casts for the third Kings at The Queens event, and this time adding the beautiful Theatre Royal to the proceedings!
“It’s a fantastic celebration of creativity, community and collaboration, everything that makes Portsmouth so special. Our partnerships with The Queens, Portsmouth FC and Pompey in the Community reflects our shared belief in giving back and supporting local charities.
“As a charitable trust ourselves, we understand the power of community and are proud to play our part in celebrating the heart and festive spirit of this city at this most wonderful time of the year.”
Clare Martin MBE, CEO of Pompey in the Community, said: “We are really excited to be part of this special evening in the Winter Lodge.
“It promises to be a great event and we look forward to seeing everyone there and really embracing the countdown to Christmas.
