Qdos Entertainment was one of the largest entertainment groups in Europe.

Pantomimes

[edit]

Qdos Entertainment was the world's largest pantomime producer,[1] having produced over 700 productions since it started.

In 2017,[2] Qdos Entertainment confirmed it produce pantomimes for ATG venues (previously produced by First Family Entertainment) from the 2017–2018 season; at its peak it produced 35 pantomimes a year.

In 2020, due to COVID-19, Qdos Entertainment ran a reduced number of pantomimes,[3] with the support of The National Lottery.

In 2021, Qdos' pantomime division was bought by Crossroads Pantomimes.
