We are marching from the West End to Parliament Square to keep the challenges of the theatre industry high on the government's agenda

Cambridge Circus, London

Thank you for registering for the panto parade.

It’s too late for the magic of panto season to happen this year and we want to make sure government is paying attention to the continued need for support for the theatre and live events industry .Pantomime dames will lead workers from the theatre and live events industry from Cambridge Circus to Parliament Square where MPs will be invited to come and meet those who are on the march.These industries were some of the first to close and are only tentatively opening again. The workforce has no idea when it will be able to return to their profession as social distancing remains in place and the financial viability of the industry is being questioned.We are calling for:• An extension to the furlough scheme for the theatre and live events industries until Spring 2021 and also an exemption from employers contributions to the scheme for this sector•	An extension of the Self-employment Income Support Scheme until 2021•	Adapting the schemes to ensure those who have not been eligible are able to access them•	Government backed insurance for live events and theatre performances•	A subsidised theatre ticket scheme while social distancing remains in placeJoin us on the parade to bring attention to these much needed measures. The march will be leaving Cambridge Circus promptly at 10am.It is mandatory for you to wear a face maskTo ensure the safety of the event pre-registration is mandatory to abide by Track and TraceCovid-19 StatementThe event hosts have taken all the necessary precautions and worked with authorities to ensure the safe running of the event and that social distancing will be complied with.
