Join us Christmas 2025 for the Hippodrome’s spellbinding pantomime – Sleeping Beauty!

Once upon a time in a land far away, Princess Aurora is given a twenty-first birthday present by her evil aunt Carabosse. By pricking her finger on an enchanted spinning wheel, she is placed under a cruel curse and forced to sleep for 100 years.

But don’t hit snooze because they’re back! Luke Roberts and Paul Leno-Putt return to bring chaos to the stage once again

The show will have all of the panto elements you know and love from the Royal Hippodrome Theatre plus, mayhem and mischief, memorable songs, fun and laughter and a mega talented cast of your dreams!

There is also a special night for all the bigger boys and girls with the 18yrs+ performance on Thursday 18th December! A great night to bring your friends and be naughty and do all the things at a panto that you normally couldn’t do!

Can true love survive and break the spell? Make your dreams come true this Christmas and visit us to see Sleeping Beauty.

Santa will be in his Grotto before all performances prior to Christmas Day. Add on a Grotto ticket to your booking for just £7.50 which includes a present! Please arrive at least 30 mins before the performance if you book to see Santa.
