With 40,000 tickets already sold, Dale Farm has been announced as the official sponsor of the Grand Opera House’s pantomime title, Cinderella.

The partnership was launched on the rooftop of the Merchant Hotel, where Queen of Panto May McFettridge, Pop Idol Gareth Gates and Coleraine-born belle of the ball, Jayne Wisener, were gathered to bring a little panto magic to Belfast ahead of the show kicking off on 3 December.

As the official ice-cream supplier to the venue, Commercial Director – Branded Products at Dale Farm, Jason Hempton commented:

“Dale Farm is delighted to sponsor this year’s pantomime at the Grand Opera House. The pantomime brings so much enjoyment to families from across Northern Ireland and is an annual festive highlight for many children and adults alike. We are proud to now be part of that tradition.

“Like most, we’re excited for the panto season and the arrival of Cinderella – topped off with a Dale Farm ice-cream at the interval!”
Liam Nellis, Acting Chief Executive of the Grand Opera House, added:

“I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Dale Farm for saying ‘oh yes we will’ and sponsoring this year’s production. Their support is vital in ensuring that the show will go on!”
