About Us
Welcome to Spillers Pantomimes
For generations, we’ve been at the heart of British pantomime — a long‑running family company creating shows that are modern, dynamic, and full of traditional magic. Our history stretches the length and breadth of the UK, with countless successful productions that have delighted audiences of all ages.
At Spillers, we blend the best of both worlds:
- Traditional pantomime craft passed down through decades
- Modern storytelling that’s fast paced, funny, and packed with topical humour
- Short, sharp, contemporary scripts full of local references and big laughs
- Spectacular scenery and costumes designed to wow every audience
- Outstanding dancers and incredible singers who bring every show to life
Our Company Structure
What truly sets us apart is the strength and clarity of our structure —
a model built on experience, professionalism, and genuine care.
Family Led Leadership
Our company is still proudly run by the same family that founded it, ensuring continuity, authenticity, and a deep understanding of pantomime tradition.
Creative Production Team
A dedicated team of writers, directors, choreographers, and musical specialists work together to craft shows that are modern, funny, and full of heart.
Technical & Design Department
Our scenery, costumes, props, and effects are created and maintained by skilled designers and technicians who understand the spectacle audiences expect.
Performance Company
Each production features a hand‑picked cast of professional performers, supported by exceptional dancers and powerful vocalists.
Operations & Compliance Team
With decades of experience working with councils, theatres, and local authorities, we ensure every production meets required protocols, policies, and safeguarding standards.
This structure allows us to deliver pantomimes that are not only magical on stage but also professionally managed behind the scenes — reliable, compliant, and built on trust.
Why We Stand Out
We stand out because we care. As one of the original generations of pantomime producers, we bring a wealth of experience that gives us a unique advantage: the ability to create modern pantomimes while fully understanding the practicalities, expectations, and responsibilities of today’s venues and councils.
Above all, we understand pantomime. It’s in our history, our craft, and our hearts — and we’re proud to continue delivering shows that sparkle with comedy, spectacle, and pure family joy.
Our Company Structure
Spillers Pantomimes is headed up by our Managing Director, Kay Spillers, who carefully oversees the entire operation. Kay’s leadership ensures that every production — from the first script meeting to the final curtain call — reflects our family values, our commitment to quality, and our deep understanding of pantomime.
Working alongside Kay is a dedicated team that brings every show to life:
Creative Production Team
Bev Berridge
Production Director
Lisa Gordon
Creative Director
Our Creative Teams are led by Bev Berridge and Lisa Gordon, two highly experienced creatives who bring energy, imagination, and a deep understanding of pantomime to every production. Together, they guide the writers, directors, choreographers, and musical specialists who shape our modern yet traditional shows, ensuring every script, scene, and song delivers the magic audiences expect.
Julie Berridge
Director
Julie Berridge is a Director of the company and brings her own creative flair to every production. Her eye for detail, instinct for storytelling, and deep understanding of pantomime help shape the unique style and energy that define our shows. Working alongside the wider creative leadership, Julie ensures that each pantomime is crafted with imagination, care, and a true sense of theatrical magic.
This structure allows us to deliver pantomimes that are not only magical on stage but also professionally managed behind the scenes, with the care, experience, and reliability that councils and venues trust.
