Trafalgar Entertainment and Imagine Theatre join forces

Live entertainment company Trafalgar Entertainment has announced details of a strategic investment with Imagine Theatre, one of the UK’s biggest pantomime providers.

According to a statement released by the parties, Trafalgar’s investment will help to unlock future growth opportunities for Imagine and build on its 25-year legacy.

Imagine supports productions in more than 50 venues across the UK, from the hiring of set and props through to the staging of entire productions. This year the company will produce or co-produce 19 pantomimes across the UK.

Trafalgar Theatres CEO Helen Enright said: “With fun-filled family values at the heart of everything they do, Imagine has always led from the front, whether in the development of new technologies or through building relationships with producers and theatre owners. 

“There’s great synergy and many common values between our two companies, and as we both look to expand our regional portfolios, this new investment will help to secure an even brighter future for Imagine.”

“This exciting new partnership with Trafalgar is a natural step forward in our continuing journey to deliver exceptional family pantomime,” Steve Boden, Joint CEO and Managing Director at Imagine Theatre, said. 

“Having worked with Trafalgar over the past few years, producing pantomimes in many of their wonderful venues, we are very excited about the future and what this investment means, supporting us to continue to create world class, innovative theatre for families across the UK.”
