Pantomime in Stoke-on-Trent 2025
Pottery and… panto! Stoke-on-Trent is no stranger to a pantomime, having hosted its first one in 1930. Almost 100 years later, there is now a wealth of Christmas entertainment in the city for all of the family to enjoy. Stoke-on-Trent pantos are usually well-known fairytales, with past productions including Peter Pan, Cinderella and much-loved classic Sleeping Beauty.
A panto famously includes audience participation and big-name stars from the world of light entertainment - with previous performers such as Jonathan Wilkes, Christian Patterson, Joe Swash and more. If you’re looking for festive entertainment for the whole family, Stoke-on-Trent pantos are a few hours of magical fun!
Cinderella - Regent Theatre

How much are tickets for Cinderella?
Cinderella ticket prices start from as little as £15, with concession prices for under 25s and seniors available on selected dates. There will be audio-described and signed performances so everyone can enjoy the entertainment. We recommend booking early, because dates close to Christmas can sell out quickly.
At checkout, you’ll also be able to add extras to your booking, including Ambassador Lounge access, alcoholic drinks, flashing toys and treat bundles for an extra cost. These are usually at a discounted rate than what you would pay on the day of the show.

Stoke-on-Trent panto fave Jonathan Wilkes returns this year as Buttons in Cinderella! He's joined by Kai Owen as Dandini, back for his tenth year in the Regent’s Panto, musical theatre performer Rhiane Drummond as the Fairy Godmother, Kirsty Ingram as Cinderella and Ben Oatley as Prince Charming.
