Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 12 Oct, 06:18 · Archive

Cornerstone Arts Centre in Didcot is inviting children aged 12 and under to design a poster for a futuristic pantomime.

Cornerstone Arts Centre in Didcot has launched a competition inviting children aged 12 and under to design a poster imagining the 'panto of the future'. All entries will be displayed on the Cornerstone website. The winner receives a family ticket to the 2026 pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk and a £100 One4All gift voucher donated by Ashe Group.

The competition coincides with the centre's decarbonisation works, which include the installation of four air source heat pumps and 56 solar panels. Ashe Group began work in August to remove the site's old gas boilers. The upgrades are expected to save around 55 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year.

Pieter-Paul Barker, cabinet member for finance and property assets at South Oxfordshire District Council, said the new equipment would reduce energy costs and help tackle climate change by reducing carbon emissions, whilst also protecting against sudden rises in energy costs.

Entries can be submitted by emailing communications@southandvale.gov.uk with the subject line 'Panto of the Future'. The deadline for submissions is 1 November.
