THU 14 - SUN 17 JANUARY 2027
We’re proud to be performing our twelfth bespoke pantomime written by TOM WHALLEY PANTOMIMES.
Young Jack; his 'daft-as-a-brush' brother, Silly Simon; and his long suffering mother, Dame Trott, live in a tiny cottage in the shadow of the terrible giant, Blunderbore. With the rent overdue they have no choice but to sell their beloved cow, Daisy. After tricking the Trotts into selling her for a bag of worthless beans, the villainous giant's henchman Fleshcreep kidnaps the Princess for his master's supper. Will Jack be able to rescue Daisy and Princess Jill in time? Perhaps those beans aren't as worthless as they first seemed...
This 'GIANT' adventure is the pantomime you've BEAN waiting for!

WED 9 - SAT 12 JUNE 2027
AT THE HEIGHT OF THE COLD WAR, TWO CHESS MASTERS MEET IN BANGKOK TO BATTLE FOR THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP, BUT THEIR GREATEST CONTEST IS FOR THE LOVE OF ONE WOMAN.
Written in 1984 by ABBA songwriters Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, and Tim Rice, Chess tells a story of love and political intrigue, set against the background of the Cold War in the late 1970s/early 1980s, in which superpowers attempt to manipulate an international chess championship for political ends.
Two of the world’s greatest chess masters, one American, one Russian, are in danger of becoming the pawns of their governments as their battle for the world title gets under way. Simultaneously their lives are thrown into further confusion by a Hungarian refugee, a remarkable woman who becomes the centre of their emotional triangle. This mirrors the heightened passions of the political struggles that threaten to destroy lives and loves. Includes the international hit singles ‘I Know Him So Well’ and ‘One Night In Bangkok’. Other well-known songs from the score include ‘Anthem’, ‘Heaven Help my Heart’ and ‘Pity The Child’.
WED 9 - SAT 11 SEPTEMBER 2027
Written by Danny Robins, 2:22 A Ghost Story comes fresh from record-breaking seasons at five West End theatres with a host of acclaimed star performances. It’s a brilliantly funny and adrenaline-filled night where secrets emerge and ghosts may or may not appear… What do you believe? And do you dare discover the truth?
“THERE’S SOMETHING IN OUR HOUSE. I HEAR IT EVERY NIGHT, AT THE SAME TIME”
Jenny believes her new home is haunted, but her husband Sam isn’t having any of it. They argue with their first dinner guests, old friend Lauren and new partner Ben. Can the dead really walk again? Belief and scepticism clash, but something feels strange and frightening, and that something is getting closer, so they’re going to stay up… until 2:22… and then they’ll know.
