Can you believe Christmas is right around the corner!? And yes, we are talking about it already, because we are sure you are going to want to find out what Christmas festivities are happening near you this year. We've got those must-see family pantos, as well as a whole host of new productions as we head off into the new year, so let's find out what's in store... shall we?
Penshurst Place Mini Panto
Looking for a first panto experience for little ones? The much-loved Mini Panto at Penshurst Place offers all the festive fun, laughter and audience participation of a traditional pantomime, but in a shorter, more family-friendly format. Perfect for younger children, SEND-friendly quiet sessions are also available. Every ticket includes a chocolate treat and the chance to meet Father Christmas for a festive photo, making this a magical Christmas outing.
Canterbury: Panto and a Festive Stay
Make a theatre break of it in historic Canterbury. The Marlowe Theatre returns this Christmas with its spectacular annual pantomime, bringing star performances, dazzling costumes and plenty of festive laughter to the stage. Extend your evening with dinner or an overnight stay at The Millers Arms, just a short stroll from the theatre, or book The Shakespeare for easy access to both the Marlowe and the magnificent Canterbury Cathedral.
Tunbridge Wells Pantomime
Christmas wouldn't be complete without a trip to the Assembly Hall Theatre in Royal Tunbridge Wells. Renowned for producing one of Kent's biggest and brightest pantomimes each year, audiences can expect laugh-out-loud comedy, dazzling costumes and plenty of seasonal sparkle. Combine your theatre visit with Christmas shopping, festive lights and cosy cafés in the town centre for a magical festive day out.
Bridgewood Manor Christmas Tribute Nights
Swap the traditional theatre for a night of festive music and dancing at Bridgewood Manor Hotel & Spa. Their popular Christmas Tribute Nights combine a delicious two-course meal with live entertainment and a lively dance floor. Sing along to timeless classics during the ABBA Tribute Nights in November or channel your inner rock star at the Freddie Mercury tribute spectacular. With overnight packages available, it's the perfect festive celebration without the taxi home.
