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.
