Tickets selling fast for Harrogate Theatre's magical panto that's 'sure to leave the whole family smiling'

Two key cast members have been announced for this year’s Harrogate spellbinding pantomime which is expected to be watched by more than 30,000 people.

Packed with magic and sparkle, Harrogate Theatre’s Sleeping Beauty promises to deliver the ultimate festive treat for the whole family over the festive period this year.

After enchanting audiences in last year's production of Jack and the Beanstalk, Elouise Warboys is back to take on the magical role of Princess Aurora.

Colin Kiyani stole audiences’ hearts with his fantastic performance in Beauty and the Beast in 2024/25 and will return for his seventh Harrogate Theatre pantomime; this time in the role of Tom Nidderdale.

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.
