On the opening weekend performances, which are Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th December 2026 and the closing weekend of 2nd and 3rd January 2027. Pantomime tickets are typically more expensive the closer to Christmas you get, and better value the further they are from Christmas week.

There are some discounted family tickets available at certain performances. These tend not to be on offer during the performances closest to Christmas.
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?
