The Dreamiest Panto Of Them All!
Let the magic unfold this Christmas with the enchanting pantomime ‘Sleeping Beauty”.
In the kingdom of ‘Harlowtopia’ far, far away, a beautiful princess awaits her true love’s kiss to awaken her from a deep slumber. But beware! The wicked fairy Carabosse has cast a spell, and only the bravest heroes can break it.
Will good triumph over evil and save the day? Get ready to boo, hiss, and cheer as our talented cast, including Harlow favourites Ben Parsely and Jimmy Burton-Iles, take you on a magical ride through panto land.
With spectacular costumes and scenery, toe-tapping tunes, and plenty of surprises along the way, this is one pantomime you won’t want to miss!
On the day of the event, we recommend to ensure you arrive at the venue around 20 minutes before the start of the performance to allow time for us to show you to your seats and also to purchase any drinks or snacks that you wish from the kiosk.
We are working to start confirming places shortly. Please note the vast majority of our events are not first come, first served, in the interests of fairness. Once events are processed, we always provide an email update to let you know whether you have confirmed places or are on the waiting list.
