Pantomime in York 2025
York panto is famously known for Britain’s longest-serving panto dame, Berwick Kaler. While Kaler took his final bow in 2023 after a record-breaking 47 years of slapstick and songs, pantomime in York hasn't gone anywhere! This festive tradition is back and better than ever, ready to wow audiences this year.
