Staff at Derby Theatre are celebrating a box office record-breaking Christmas.
A Christmas Carol, which finished on Sunday, January 4, and Hansel and Gretel, which ran until December 29, proved hugely popular, playing to more than 25,000 people during their runs.
Plus One, the citywide ticket donation scheme to provide children in care and their foster families with free tickets to experience live theatre, film, dance and workshops in Derby, also benefited during the run of A Christmas Carol.
After each performance, bucket collections were held outside the auditorium doors and collections attracted donations amounting to more than of £12,500.
