FAQs

Who are we?
The Corpus Christi Parish Pantomime Group is a social group from the Corpus Christi RC Church Wokingham. The purpose of the group is to build the community side of our Parish; bringing together the young and the young at heart. Every year we put on a pantomime show, forge new friendships and if we're lucky raise some money for a charitable cause. Net of our costs money raised from ticket sales is donated to our chosen charity.

What charity are you supporting this year?
We are supporting ARC Youth Counselling Wokingham. This is an organisation that offers a confidential counselling service to anyone who needs counselling, young or old, in a warm, comfortable and safe environment. For more information visit arcweb.org.uk/about/'

Where are the performances held?
Caudwell Hall Theatre at Holme Grange School, Heathlands Road, Wokingham RG40 3AL. We are very grateful to Holme Grange School which gives us the use of their excellent theatre for free.  Find out more at holmegrange.org/  
  
Are there any SAT NAV considerations?
Please use the Heathlands Road entrance to the Holme Grange school grounds. Do not follow your SATNAV along Redlake Lane. That is a lane leading to an impassable ford.
 
Is there tiered seating?
Yes. All seats are tiered so everyone gets a good view. Seats are non-allocated. If you have special seating requirements please contact parishpantocc@gmail.com in the week before the show so we can assist you.
 
Where's the nearest parking?
The theatre is in the grounds of Holme Grange School, Wokingham RG40 3AL. There is plenty of FREE parking. As you enter the grounds from the main road follow the driveway round to the right and the theatre is on the left of the car park. Additional signage will be displayed.
 
Are there any ID or minimum age requirements to enter the pantomime?
No. This is a family panto suitable for all ages

There are no discounted tickets. We keep our ticket price low for all.

Are there any booking fees?  
There is a booking fee of 4.8%. During the checkout process the system will add this to your basket by default but you can choose to opt out. We are using a Corpus Christi fundraising system for ticketing this year. This means more of our money raised can go to our nominated charity.
