Junior Showtime is Mansfield Rotary’s famous showcase for young performers — heats, auditions and a grand final on the stage of Mansfield Palace Theatre.
How it works
- Heat auditions are held at the Create Theatre, West Notts College, Mansfield.
- Successful acts go through to the grand final at Mansfield Palace Theatre.
- Entries are made online — the entry form link is published with each year’s rules.
- Singers, dancers, musicians, comedians — all young talent is welcome.
The 2026 show
The 2026 final took place on Sunday 22nd March at Mansfield Palace Theatre, with heat auditions at the Create Theatre in February. Details of the next edition — including entry forms and key dates — will be published here as soon as they are confirmed.
