The World’s First Family Football Pantomime

Get ready for the ultimate theatrical kick-off this festive season! We are thrilled to announce the premiere of Pass with Boots — the world’s first ever family football pantomime, debuting exclusively at The Nest, Nottingham’s newest football stadium theatre.

With three unmissable performances across Tuesday 23rd December and Christmas Eve, tickets are on sale now — and expected to sell out quickly!

âš½ A Magical Football Adventure Awaits…

Pass with Boots tells the uplifting tale of Flavio Fermanti, a fisherman’s son from a small seaside village on Scotland’s east coast. Armed with nothing but his determination and dazzling football skills, Flavio sets out to save his struggling local club — and prove to his father that dreams can come true. Along the way, he must take on an evil agent, defy the odds, and discover the true meaning of teamwork.

Expect classic panto fun with a sporting twist — cheesy jokes, sing-alongs, audience participation, and heartwarming festive spirit — all delivered with the magic only live theatre can bring.

👟 Created by the Showon Creative Team
