Ladies Real Monty – What is it?

Aug 15, 2026 | Fundraising, Monty

For those of you wondering what to expect from ‘THE LADIES REAL MONTY SHOW’ — here’s a little insight… and the story behind why we do it 💗

In 2017, on the 20th anniversary of the iconic film The Full Monty, Ashley Banjo choreographed and mentored the very first televised “Real Full Monty” show on ITV. The aim was to raise awareness, and funds in the fight against cancer. Featuring both male and female celebrities, and supported over the years by wonderful names such as Coleen Nolan, the show continued annually until 2023. Although the original concept focused more on awareness and encouragement than direct fundraising, it went on to raise significant support and, more importantly, powerful awareness.

Since 2018, three “Real Monty” shows have been performed at Cayton Bay Holiday Park Park. This year, on 27th November, it will be the very first one run and performed by the Cayton Ladies in Pink. Some of us performed in the last Monty back in 2022 in front of an incredible 800-strong crowd! It was one of the most memorable, liberating and emotional nights we’d ever experienced. Those of you who attended already know how fabulous and important these shows are… but for those who don’t, here’s what to expect.

First things first… let’s clear something up This is a “Half Monty” — not a Full Monty!” There is no “full” in this show as it’s an all-female cast — and everything is done tastefully, respectfully and with purpose. The evening begins at 7pm. Grab your drinks, settle into your seats and get ready for an amazing night of entertainment featuring: Singers, Dancers, Special performances and a couple of numbers from ourselves, all building up to the grand finale — The Ladies Real Monty.

The finale is tasteful, emotional and incredibly uplifting — for both the audience and the performers. It’s about strength, solidarity, awareness and empowerment. This night is about getting an important message out there while creating something truly unforgettable. Three wonderful charities will benefit from the evening:

• Saint Catherine’s Scarborough — who will also be giving a very special performance on the night (trust us… this will be awesome!)

• Breast Cancer Now

• Yorkshire Cancer Research

The Cayton Bay Holiday Park complex is now open until January, so the bar will be fully stocked and staffed 🍷

There will also be an opportunity to pre-order wines and prosecco nearer the time.
