Pantos to Book NOW for Christmas 2026

If you haven’t already done it, now is the time to book your Panto tickets. Here are the favourites coming to theatres near you in the Leighton Buzzard area

THE BIG ONES

Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs at Dunstable Grove Theatre

Show White and the Seven Dwarfs starring Eastenders legend Natalie Cassidy as The Wicked Queen, He’s a Gladiator! Quang Luong as Boris Von Vindscreen VIPER, Dunstable favorite Will Kenning as Nurse Nellie, Plus Oliver Scott as Muddles, Kira Maccarter, Luke Walsh and Zain Abrahams

We like Dunstable Grove Theatre, although large enough for a big production it has a more intimate and relaxed atmosphere than some of its neighbours and the production and laughs are always guaranteed.

Signed Performance: Monday 28 December, 3pm
Relaxed Performance: Wednesday 30 December, 2pm
Audio Described Performance: Sunday 3 January, 1pm

Closest to home is Aladdin at Leighton Buzzard Library Theatre but you will have to wait until 15th-30th January for this production by Leighton Buzzard Drama Group. The Snow Queen is being performed at The Venue MK and slightly closer is Sleeping Beauty at Tring’s Dembe Theatre. Finally it is a bit of a drive but Jack and the Beanstalk is being performed at the Bedford Corn Exchange
