Following our fun packed programme of summer Healthy Holiday clubs, we're delighted to announce the launch of our winter Healthy Holidays programme. We're looking forward to welcoming children back for festive activities, good food, and holiday fun.

On offer this winter:

  • 22 December 2025 - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs pantomime at The Lamproom Theatre
  • 23 December 2025 - Healthy Holidays Celebration Event at the Metrodome
  • 24 December 2025 - Community Christmas parties at various locations across Barnsley
  • 2 January 2026 - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs pantomime at The Lamproom Theatre

Children who receive benefit-related (means-tested) free school meals are entitled to a free place at the pantomime, community parties and celebration event.

If you're eligible, signing up for free school meals even if your child doesn't have the meal and takes a packed lunch instead, brings lots of other benefits to you and your child's school, including access to the Healthy Holidays programme. You should still register for free school meals even if your child is in reception, Year 1 or Year 2 and receives them automatically.

Booking tickets for the pantomime

We're now taking bookings for the pantomime. Contact The Lamproom Theatre to request your tickets by either:
