*This article is in the process of being updated – many attractions haven’t announced their activities for this year yet so I’ve kept last year’s events on for some attractions until I can update them.

Going to the theatre at Christmas, to see a live show or pantomime, is such a lovely tradition. Getting dressed up, wearing your Christmas jumper and sitting alongside your nearest and dearest, laughing and getting into the festive spirit. That experience is just priceless.

Christmas Pantomimes and Live Shows

There are so many British pantomime favourites from Sleeping Beauty to Beauty and the Beast – along with more modern shows. Over the festive season there are live music performances, variety shows and story time sessions for younger children, all in the beautiful surroundings of local theatres. 

I thought I would put together all the festive shows and Christmas events across Hampshire so you can add them to your Christmas plans:

Theatre Royal Winchester – Jewry St, Winchester SO23 8SB

Kings Theatre – 24 Albert Rd, Southsea, Portsmouth, Southsea PO5 2QJ

Mayflower Theatre – 22-26 Commercial Rd, Southampton SO15 1GE
