We are pleased to announce that our Charity Premiere in aid of Great Ormond Street Childrens Hospital held on Saturday, May 1st raised a total of €64,605.95!

Over the last 7 years we have now raised more than 565,000€ for the hospital. This year we celebrate our 25th anniversary and we couldn't think of a better way to open our season.

A huge thank you to everyone involved with this event, from our sponsors and prize givers to the celebrities who graciously gave up their time, and the families from GOSH who inspire us so much with their bravery. Of course, we couldn't raise such great sums of money if it wasn't for the generousity of the Mallorca community, once again you have really made a difference to the lives of these children.

The original idea for a Charity Gala night came out of a brainstorming session amongst the Pirates staff. We wanted to do a big night to launch the season and raise money for a good cause at the same time. We are a family show so a lot of our audience are kids and we wanted to do something for children so we approached Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital. Within 30 seconds we realised that we could do something to help. Over the past 7 years the gala nights have raised well over half a million euros and have funded a special 'Pirates' treatment room at the hospital. Many of our staff and performers have formed long-standing relationships with Great Ormond Street and they visit the hospital when they are in the UK.
