Pantomime in Glasgow 2025
Get into the Christmas spirit this holiday season with a pantomime in Glasgow. Scotland's largest city is no stranger to hosting a pantomime, with the King’s Theatre alone having over 50 productions performed to hundreds of audiences since 1904. In recent years, audiences have been dazzled by Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Boasting bright and fun sets, with dazzling costumes and laugh-out-loud one-liners, it’s easy to see why the pantomime has been a Christmas staple across Scotland. A Glasgow panto offers something for everyone in the family, from hilarious skits to some of the best well-known songs. Don't miss out on holiday fun and find a panto to enjoy this year.
