Buxton, your dreams have come true!

We are delighted to announce that our spellbinding 2026 pantomime is Sleeping Beauty, bursting with laughter, festive magic, and fun for the whole family. The production will run from Fri 4 Dec 2026 – Sat 2 Jan 2027.

When the Princess falls under a wicked curse and into a 100-year slumber, her happily-ever-after seems lost forever. But with the help of a handsome Prince, a good fairy, and plenty of panto mischief, can true love’s kiss save the day?

Expect a sensational cast, glittering costumes, and toe-tapping tunes – all wrapped up in the pantomime magic you know and love.

Written and directed by Paul Kerryson and brought to life by the team behind Aladdin (2025), Jack and the Beanstalk (2024), and Cinderella (2023), this enchanting production is guaranteed to make your Christmas sparkle!

Sleeping Beauty will include Relaxed, Audio Described, Captioned, and British Sign Language Interpreted performances throughout the run, ensuring everybody can enjoy the magic of live theatre. For more information about access performances contact: access@boh.org.uk, or click here.

Generously supported by Buxton Opera House’s 2026 annual sponsor, Taylor Emmet Solicitors.
