Pantomime in Richmond 2024

Despite being just outside of the hustle and bustle of central London, Richmond boasts a beautiful, exciting theatre.

With stunning scenery, beautiful costumes and laugh-out-loud comedy, you won’t want to miss a Richmond panto.

With the likes of Suzanne Shaw and Tim Vine appearing in previous panto casts, it’s easy to say that the cast is typically star-studded. If you’re looking for some light-hearted entertainment this Christmas, grab your tickets for the Richmond Theatre panto now!
