Mansfield Palace Theatre has announced a record-breaking year for ticket sales, welcoming its biggest crowds in more than a decade.
More than 100,000 visitors saw a show at the Leeming Street entertainment venue between April 2016 and March 2017—a 12% increase on the previous year.
The theatre’s cultural services manager, Andrew Tucker, said, “breaking the sales record is an amazing tribute to the fantastic talent that has performed on our stage in the past 12 months. I find it very exciting that we’re attracting some of the UK’s most acclaimed companies, showbiz names and events, which in turn has attracted lots of new audiences through our doors.”
Mike Robinson, director for economic growth, added, “I’m very proud to say that not only has Mansfield Palace Theatre staged many more shows in the past year, but the average attendance has increased to 73%. This is a great credit to the loyalty and dedication of both customers and staff.”
