    The show will go on! Harrogate Theatre has confirmed the pantomime will resume today after the weekend performances were cancelled because of a leak caused by Storm Awern.

    Opening night of Cinderella went ahead as scheduled on Friday but the magic of the panto then had to be put on hold when the storm struck later that night.

    Four matinee and evening performances were cancelled on Saturday and Sunday.

    The theatre is currently covered in scaffolding due to a £1 million roof restoration project, which began in May. Work was due to be completed by November but has been delayed into next year.

    However, the theatre confirmed in a statement this morning that today's 10am showing and future performances would go ahead.

    Councillor Graham Swift, Harrogate Borough Council's cabinet member for resources, enterprise and economic development said:

    "The protective, temporary sheeting over the Harrogate Theatre roof was one casualty of this disruptive weather, which led to water ingress to a small area of the building including the stage.
    "Emergency repairs were carried out over the weekend and all necessary safety checks have now been completed today. I am therefore delighted to confirm that the theatre building can now be re-opened and the pantomime can re-start again, as scheduled."

    Those who missed the show at the weekend have been offered the chance to re-book for future performances. The theatre said there are still plenty of tickets available in January.

    Ticket holders can also apply for a refund, put credit onto their theatre account for future shows or leave a donation.
