From the fun of the panto to Bertolt Brech’s Caucasian Chalk Circle, the Palace Theatre has staged them all and been a staple of Mansfield’s entertainment scene for decades.

Have a look through and see who you recognise treading the boards.
A message from the editor:
In these confusing and worrying times, local journalism is more vital than ever.
Thanks to everyone who helps us ask the questions that matter by taking out a subscription or buying a paper.
We stand together.
