Theatre Access Ticket Scheme
Our Theatre Access Ticket Scheme (TATS) gives individuals, groups and businesses the chance to sponsor tickets for our magical annual family pantomime. These donated tickets are then gifted to local families who might otherwise miss out—bringing festive cheer and creating special Christmas memories for those who need it most.
This year, we're aiming to have at least 50 tickets sponsored, as demand from deserving families continues to grow.

Sponsors
Our Theatre Access Ticket Scheme initiative allows businesses, organisations, and individuals to make a difference in the lives of those facing financial hardship or exceptional pressure by purchasing tickets to our annual family pantomime, and in turn, gifting these tickets to deserving recipients.
With the Theatre Access Ticket Scheme, you can share the magic of live theatre with those who may not have the means to experience it themselves. Sparks Dramatic Society believe that everyone deserves the chance to be transported to a world of imagination, laughter, and wonder, especially during the festive season.
You also have the option to be publicly acknowledged for your sponsorship, or you can choose to keep your donation anonymous. Your generosity, your choice.
