Join us for our next fabulously fun-filled adventure in this classic panto tale, Dick Whittington & His Cat!
Follow our plucky hero, Dick, as he journeys to London in search of fame, fortune, and his destiny – with a little help from his trusty cat, a magical fairy, and some truly hilarious mischief along the way.
With lots of family fun, catchy songs, and plenty of slapstick comedy, this is the panto you don’t want to miss! Will Dick find his fortune? Will the dastardly villain be thwarted? And can our hero really talk to his cat? There’s only one way to find out – grab your tickets and get ready to join our purrr-fect adventure for our 70th year!
With lighting effects, loud noises and large crowds, we know how overwhelming stage shows can seem, especially to those with additional needs. Relaxed Performances provide the exact same production that any other audience would enjoy, but with adaptations to the production with an atmosphere and attitude in the auditorium that makes everyone feel safe and comfortable.
You can expect reduced volume and lighting effects with more space and supportive opportunities to break away if it all gets too exciting as well as supporting Access resources to prepare and support all our patrons with additional needs! We will also create SEND Online Resource to prepare you for your theatre visit.

All ages are welcome. Babes in arms up to 2 years, who cannot sit unaided and have to sit on laps, go for free. However, if a child requires a seat they will need to pay for a ticket and we advise booking near an aisle so that if it gets too much for little ones they can easily be taken out of the auditorium with their designated adult and are welcome to chill out in the bar. We also have limited booster seats on request, however to avoid disappointment you are welcome to bring a cushion or car booster seat as long it does not obstruct any other patrons. Buggies and car seats are not permitted in the auditorium and can be left just outside with our front of house team.
This year we are pleased to announce our panto Nominated Pantomime Charity is Wisteria Cat Rescue!
**Please be aware if you choose to sit near the front you may be chosen for some festive audience participation. Viewing restrictions will also apply on the first row as you will be looking up for the entire performance, will be much closer to the haze affects and may have lighting/staging obstructions. Please avoid booking the front if you are affected by anything outlined. For our full seating plan please check our How To Book page.**
