16-28 Dec 2026

The late-night Middle Child panto returns to Social with another rock'n'roll take on Christmas classic. 

This year Pattie Breadcake and the gang venture into Victorian Hull as Ebenezer Scrooge learns the true meaning of Christmas, with the help of not one, not two, but three festive ghoulies.

First performed in 2011, the Middle Child panto is a homegrown hit, with a different story chosen every year by our audience, performed in the intimate surroundings of a converted warehouse on Humber Street.

Our ever-popular late-night panto is a chance for not-so-grown-ups to let their hair down at Christmas and sold-out in record time last year.
