A lot of fun was had, as well as some performances from famous faces, at the Cannock theatre which has been earmarked for closure by Cannock Chase Council

It comes as part of their attempts to close a £1.5 million pay gap for the 2025/26 year. 

The news came much to the dismay of Cannock and surrounding areas - many people have fond memories of pantomimes, comedy shows and concerts that they attended at the venue, which is only around forty years old.
