Dear All / Annwyl Bawb,
Christmas Shows 2023
Unbelievably, we are only two weeks out from the Christmas shows...! Whilst the staff are beginning their annual 'I can't believe there's only two weeks left!' chats, the office elves have been busily learning how to create the tickets on ParentPay!
Hopefully, you have found the link within ParentPay to purchase tickets (£2 per show). If you have any issues logging in, please let the office know and we'll help out.
Initially, to ensure everyone can have someone in a show, we are releasing one ticket per show. Following the initial sale (ending on Tuesday, 5th December), remaining tickets will go on general sale on the Wednesday, 6th December, before closing on Friday, 8th December.
