Roll up! Roll up!
Pav panto favourites Liam Dolan, Grado, Stephen Purdon, Scott Fletcher, Jack Jester, Jennifer Neil, Valissa Scott and Craig Glover are back alongside The Dolls’ Louise McCarthy.
Join feisty heroine Goldilocks, the daughter of Gertie who runs the circus, as she stumbles upon a family of three bonnie bears, each with their own big personalities, bigger appetites, and even bigger hearts. However, the wicked ringmaster is threatening to ruin Gertie’s Circus and expand her own, so Goldilocks must team up with her furry friends to save the day. Expect toe-tapping songs, slapstick chaos, and enough panto magic to warm even the chilliest Glasgow winter night.

Are there places to eat nearby?
We are in the heart of Glasgow City Centre so there are lots of places a short walk away. Drinks and snacks are available at the venue before the performance and in the interval.
Are we expected to shout out?
You are most welcome to yes! Pantomimes are interactive and shouting out is part of the pantomime experience. If you are looking for a performance which might be quieter or more informal then we do offer accessible performances.
Where can I get the best value or cheapest tickets?
On the opening weekend performances, which are Thursday 26th to Sunday 29th November 2026 and post New Year. Pantomime tickets typically get more expensive the closer to Christmas you get, and better value the further they are from Christmas week.
Can we take photographs?
You are most welcome to take photographs before the show, in the interval and as you leave. We do not permit photographs during the show, but there is an opportunity to take photos and video during the show after the song sheet. You will be told when this is.
Will we be allowed in if we are running late?
It can happen! Even the best made plans sometimes go awry and we understand that. Don't worry - latecomers are admitted into the auditorium at a suitable point in the production. This might not be right away, but we'll get you in as quickly as we can.
Are drinks and snacks available at the venue?
Of course! And don’t forget ice creams in the interval.
Do you have an accessible toilet?
Yes, we have facilities on site.
