✨💜 SOME MAGICAL NEWS TO SHARE! 💜✨

We are absolutely THRILLED to announce that Spectrum Community Arts has been selected to partner with Aylesbury Waterside Theatre as a recipient of this year’s Magic Tickets campaign! 🎭✨

This Christmas, the theatre will be bringing the magic of pantomime to audiences with Sleeping Beauty, running from 4 December 2026 to 3 January 2027. 👑💫

Through the wonderful Magic Tickets scheme, audiences can add an extra pantomime ticket to their booking for just £10, helping a child or family who might otherwise be unable to attend experience the joy and magic of live theatre. 💜

We are SO grateful to be working with Aylesbury Waterside Theatre and to have been chosen as one of the charities benefiting from this fantastic initiative, alongside Buckinghamshire Healthcare Charity, The MPS Society and The Pace Centre.

Access to the arts can make such a difference, and opportunities like this help make those magical experiences possible for more families. 🥹💜

A HUGE thank you to the team at Aylesbury Waterside Theatre and to every audience member who chooses to support the Magic Tickets campaign. Your generosity can help create memories that last a lifetime! ✨

We were SO excited to welcome Cllr Nanci Hogan, Deputy Mayor of Leighton-Linslade, to our Adult Movers session on Tuesday evening! 💃🕺

It was lovely to have you join us, dance along and experience a little bit of the Spectrum magic! 💜🎶

Quote from Nanci
"You all clearly love what you're doing and have such passion for seeing these adults as they are, worthy of dignity and respect. And you help them to flourish in their uniqueness that we all have as people."

Thank you for taking the time to visit us and see the fantastic things our participants get up to! ✨
