Audience Reviews

“

Don't just take our word for it — hear what audiences said about last year's panto.

Why not skip the queue and pre-order your drinks before the show? You’re more than welcome to bring them into the auditorium and sip away while you enjoy the panto fun.

Our café has you covered!

Tues–Thurs: open 10am–3pm
Fri & Sat: open 10am–5pm

Perfect for a pre-show bite or a cuppa with friends. Download the menu here.

No worries – while storage is a bit tight, we’ve got space for buggies and prams in the Beveridge Suite. Just ask one of our friendly team and we’ll help you out.

We have a small number of booster seats (first come, first served), or feel free to bring your own.

We love a good celebration! If someone in your group has a birthday or special day, let our Box Office team know before the show – and the cast might just give them a special shout-out!

Relaxed performances create a more welcoming space for anyone who prefers a gentler theatre experience. You can come and go as needed, the house lights stay dim, and we tone down or remove any loud noises or flashing lights.

Everyone’s welcome at our BSL performances. A British Sign Language interpreter is on stage throughout the show, ensuring Deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences can enjoy every word and moment.

We also have an infrared hearing system available — ask a member of staff at the Box Office to find out more.
