The theatre, on Leeming Street, Mansfield town centre, wanted to to trial going cashless at its bar and kiosk during its pantomime season, however, feedback has suggested that this would not have been welcomed by customers.
With only a few days to go until this year’s Palace panto opens, the stage is set, the final sequins are being added to costumes and dress rehearsals are well underway.

Hide AdA theatre spokesman said: “This was a bit of an experiment to help us keep the queues to a minimum and make our operations front of house run smoother.
“It’s fair to say that this idea proved to be quite unpopular.
“Lots of you told us that this would spoil your experience and stop you enjoying theatre in your hometown - and we couldn't have that.
"With all this in mind, we've had a change of heart. We will still accept cash this Christmas.
