THEY’RE BEHIND YOU!  THE LONDON EYE GETS IN THE FESTIVE SPIRIT WITH NEW CHRISTMAS PANTO POD 

This December, the lastminute.com London Eye is offering guests the ultimate festive experience, a unique Christmas pantomime performance while soaring 443ft over the capital.

Opening on 14 December, the ‘Christmas Panto Pod’ will see one of the attraction’s 32 pods given a magical theatre-style makeover – decked out with velvet seats, spotlights, and mini stage, all with a festive twist creating an intimate theatre, 135m above the London skyline.

Guests at the Panto Pod will be given the chance to sit back and watch the unique performance of London-themed legend Dick Whittington, performed by the stars of the world-famous Phoenix Arts Club of London’s West End.  They will join Dick Whittington and his cat on his journey to and through the gold paved city of London, as he and his cat grow their riches and success through kindness.

Imran Tauqir, General Manager at the lastminute.com London Eye, said: “Nothing quite says Christmas like a trip to a great British panto, so we’re thrilled to be teaming up with the Phoenix Arts Club to offer our guests the chance to watch a magical pantomime performance as they soar across the London skyline!  With the Panto Pod opening the week before Christmas, it’s the perfect way to get in the festive spirit.”

 The Christmas Panto Pod will run from Wednesday 14 to Sunday 18 December 2022 with performances at 1pm, 3.30pm and 5pm each day. Tickets cost £51 per adult and £46 per child and pre-booking is essential.  Each experience lasts 30 minutes, including a 25-minute performance of Dick Whittington.
