Crawley Community Awards 2025: Hawth thrilled to be hosting event again

A Hawth spokesperson said: “As we head towards to the Summer, our thoughts turn to the up-and-coming run of Chicago (Aug 11-16), bringing the razzle dazzle to The Hawth stage with Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer and TV Star Janette Manrara as Roxie Hart. Plus, later in the year, audiences can look forward to 2:22: A Ghost Story (Nov 3-8), following its seven West End seasons.

“There’s lots for families to enjoy in the coming months too. Science Museum Live is the perfect treat for the Easter Holidays (April 15), Michael Morpurgo’s Farm Boy (April 29 & 30) comes to life on stage, we’ll be celebrating Bing’s Birthday (July 30) and The Very Hungry Caterpillar (Oct 6 & 7) will be paying a visit later in the year.

“The festive season may seem a long way off, but tickets are already selling faster than ever for The Hawth’s spectacular family pantomime, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Dec 5 - 31). Starring everyone’s favourite dame, Michael J Batchelor, alongside an all-star cast, soon to be announced, this fun-filled extravaganza is guaranteed to delight the whole family.

“As always, there’s lots more to choose from with music, dance, comedy and more throughout the year to find out more or book your tickets visit hawth.co.uk.”
