Mum 'in tears' as family is thrown out of theatre's panto performance

A mum was left in tears as she and her family were booted out of a panto performance. John Goddard, 35, said he had bought his wife a £50 voucher for Valentine's Day last year to put towards theatre tickets and the family used them for the Mother Goose panto, as it was about to expire.

John thought the panto would be a good idea as he and his wife had a six-week-old baby and figured they could take him with them. They arrived at the theatre on Wednesday, March 1, and said they got through the initial ticket check and passed "multiple" members of staff without a problem.

But, when they sat down, they say they were told by staff that they had to leave, just 10 minutes before the performance was due to start.
