Urban River, a full service web and marketing agency based on King Street, South Shields was approached by The Customs House to provide marketing and promotional materials the venues Christmas pantomime for the second year running. Custom’s House Marketing Manager, Deniece Wanley, said “It’s important for us to work with local companies and we are delighted to be working with Urban River on this year’s show.

Billed as ‘the little panto, with the big heart’, this year’s production of Alice in Wonderland has been met with some fantastic reviews. “2016 is a big year for the Customs House” said Deniece. “We’ve got some brilliant shows coming to South Shields next year and getting the message out that people don’t have to leave South Tyneside to see fantastic entertainment is key to that”.
