A WREXHAM-based pantomime team has donated £5,000 to a very worthwhile cause.

The Wrexham and District Pantomime Company, set up in 1906, raises money for charity every year with its annual productions.

Each February half term, its members produce a popular pantomime and stage it at the William Aston Hall in Wrexham. 

Last year's production of Aladdin collected a sum of £5,000 which has been donated to Nightingale House Hospice.

The hospice provides specialist palliative care services for those with life-limiting illnesses.

Its services are completely free-of-charge, to patients and their families from Wrexham to Flintshire and East Denbighshire, Barmouth and the border towns including Oswestry and Whitchurch.

Nightingale House Hospice said: "Thank you to Wrexham and District Pantomime Company.

"We just want to give a huge shout out to Wrexham and District Pantomime Company who have very kindly donated an amazing £5,000 to Nightingale House Hospice."

They added: "What a wonderful gift! You have always been incredibly generous and supportive of our hospice and we are so lucky to have this kind of support from our local community.

"Thank you for everything you do! And good luck with your run of Robin Hood from February 9th to 13th, 2024."

The Wrexham and District Pantomime Company performance of Robin Hood will take place on those dates at William Aston Hall.
