Wiltshire Creative also announced that their pantomime sponsor is local insurance broker Howden (previously named A-Plan) on Winchester Street in Salisbury, with local offices in Andover and Romsey.

Howden Divisional Director David Willis said, “As a business with a strong community focus, we are excited to be working with Wiltshire Creative to bring another year of award-winning pantomime to audiences in Salisbury.”
