NEWS: Christmas Panto Announcement
As announced in our email newsletter of 17/06/26 - https://mailchi.mp/spapavilion/news-from-the-spa-13724634 …
Tickets are now on sale for our Christmas Panto!
Running from Saturday 19th December 2026 until Sunday 3rd January 2027, it's the Christmas Pantomime you've all been waiting for ... Beauty & the Beast!
The much-loved Dennis Lowe Theatre Company have their own “Tale as Old as Time” – having performed at The Spa Pavilion for over 60 years now! Indeed, theirs is the country's longest-running pantomime by the same production company. This is truly quite a feat, and their performances are a joy to watch, with their passion shining through, and traditional Pantomime values upheld.
This year's festive treat will be a unique and spellbinding adaptation of the beloved classic – brimming with dazzling choreography, vibrant costumes, singalong tunes, and an immensely talented cast of unforgettable characters.
The scary and mysterious Beast lives in an enchanted castle, where very few dare to go near him. Very few, that is, except the Dame, always desperate for love and attention, who is soon joined by our brave young heroine, Belle. Prepare to be swept away by the heartwarming story of the bold and brilliant young Belle, who dares to look beyond appearances and is brave enough to try and understand the Beast.
Packed with laugh-out-loud moments, singalong musical numbers and heaps of audience participation, Beauty and The Beast will dazzle and delight you, from start to finish. With prices held from last year, and family tickets available from just £14 per person, it's the perfect Christmas treat for all ages!
