Peter Pan Christmas 2024

Do you believe in fairies?

We do – and so we’re thrilled to announce our 2024 Christmas Pantomime, Peter Pan.
The classic tale of the boy who refused to grow up is a traditional favourite and for Christmas 2024 we are proud to present a swashbuckling spectacular for all the family.
The star cast is to be announced, and there will be some fantastic opportunities for local young performers as we start the search for lost boys and pirates!
Join Peter and Wendy and let your imagination fly as they travel to Neverland and do battle with the dastardly Captain Hook and the pirates. A sprinkle of fairy dust sees Peter take to the air in stunning flying sequences, and you can expect all the usual pantomime magic with plenty of audience participation, music and laughter.
The original author of Peter Pan, J.M.Barrie, gifted the rights to the Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital in 1929. This incredible gift means that for every pantomime ticket sold at The Old Savoy home of The Deco Thetare, a percentage will go to this amazing charity.
So it’s never too early to book your tickets for this awfully big adventure – from the minute the show starts we promise you’ll be hooked!!
The Performance on Monday 23rd December @2pm will be a relaxed performance
