Milton Keynes Theatre has announced Milton Keynes Community Foundation (MKCF) as its official charity partner for this year’s highly anticipated pantomime, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, starring comedian, TV and musical star Brian Conley.
Through this partnership, generous audience donations collected during the panto season will go directly into MKCF’s Community Fund, helping to provide vital grants to charities and community groups across Milton Keynes.
“Every year our charity partnership creates a longer-lasting legacy for the pantomime,” said Emma Sullivan, Theatre Director at Milton Keynes Theatre. “This year, partnering with MK Community Foundation gives the opportunity for the happiness our audiences experience to reach beyond the panto season and impact the wider MK community.”
“This is a wonderful way for theatre audiences to help spread festive cheer well beyond the stage,” said Ian Revell, CEO at MKCF. “Every penny collected goes back into supporting grassroots organisations that are making a real difference in our city.”
Goldilocks and the Three Bears runs at Milton Keynes Theatre for five weeks only. Alongside Brian Conley, the cast includes his daughter Lucy Conley as Goldilocks, renowned panto dame David Robbins as Dame Betty Barnum, Phil Corbitt as The Evil Ringmaster, magician Phil Hitchcock as The Magical Mysterioso, and The Timbuktu Tumblers direct from Zippo’s Circus. Packed with hilarious comedy, dazzling special effects and jaw-dropping stunts, this festive extravaganza transforms the stage into a spectacular circus where anything can happen.

In the spirit of Christmas, local businesses and community-minded individuals are invited to volunteer as donation collectors at performances throughout the season.
