A record year for attendance at Mansfield theatre
The Palace Theatre in Mansfield has seen record figures for attendance over the last 12 months.
Attendance increased from 100,047 to 101,278 over the two consecutive years and broke the previous record of 100,443 set in 2005/06.
The average attendance has also increased from 73 per cent to 75 per cent of each show sold.
Portfolio Holder for Regeneration and Growth, Coun Dave Saunders, said: “I am delighted to see that our Palace Theatre has had its best ever year for theatre attendance which demonstrates the hard work and commitment by all staff and management.
“There is a varied programme of events together with excellent marketing of shows that has contributed to the increase in audience numbers - a result which is not matched by all theatres in such difficult times.”
