Pantomime in York
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.
Last year's panto starred Coronation Street's Lisa George as the Fairy Godmother, and this year's production of The Further Adventures of Peter Pan promises to be just as magical. With stunning sets, rib-tickling comedy, magical moments and dazzling costumes - the whole family will be in for a treat at the Grand Opera House York!

Featuring all the characters you love from the original story alongside brilliant special effects, stunts, music and jokes, this is one pantomime you'll want to hook tickets for. Tick tock, don't wait - we do believe that this is the perfect family show this festive season.
