Running from Wednesday, November 25 to Sunday, January 17, 2027, tickets are selling fast for Sleeping Beauty and prompt booking is advised.

Last year’s Harrogate Theatre panto production was a smash hit success.

Running for 53 days and 70 shows, Jack and the Beanstalk sold an 33,000 tickets.

Packed with beloved characters, a great cast and Harrogate Theatre’s customary witty and intelligent script, Sleeping Beauty is shaping up to be just as good.

This enchanting pantomime will tell the story of Wicked Fairy Carabosse, who isn’t very happy.

She’s been left off the guest list to the celebration of the season – Princess Aurora’s christening.

Furious at her lack of invitation, Carabosse casts a terrible curse.

On her 18th birthday, Aurora will prick her finger on a spinning wheel and fall into a deep sleep lasting 100 years.
