Welcome to a long-forgotten, fairy-filled kingdom… a land of crowns, curses… and chaos! The wicked sorceress Carabosse has placed a nasty curse on Princess Beauty: on her 18th birthday our lovely princess will prick her finger on a spinning wheel and maybe even die!

The kingdom is thrown into turmoil and greeting about it won’t help! Only the brave, bold and slightly bonkers Fairy Monty and his magical band of sparkles, laughter and confusion can keep hope alive.

Can they protect Princess Beauty from her fate? 

Will true love — and a very heroic prince — really be enough to break the curse of Carabosse?

Along the way there’s silliness, royal romance, wicked tricks, dazzling songs, and more jeers and hisses than you can shake a giant spindle at!

You’ll cheer the goodies… you’ll boo the baddie… you’ll be shouting, clapping and singing along – just mind and don’t let Carabosse hear you!

Come join us for a magical panto full of giggles, thrills and fairytale spills - because in this kingdom, true love’s kiss conquers all.
