It’s panto time
Book now for a fun night of theatre for all the family.
Have a splashing time
Sleeping Beauty from 4 December 2026-3 January 2027 at Aylesbury Waterside Theatre.
The spellbinding Sleeping Beauty promises a laugh-a-minute extravaganza, bursting with dazzling sets, top musical hits, stunning costumes and spectacular special effects.
Call The Midwife’s Laura Main will be delivering panto magic alongside family favourite Andy Collins, and larger-than-life dame Leon Craig returns for a third year – complete with show-stopping costumes.
When the beautiful Princess is cursed by the evil Carabosse on the eve of her 18th birthday, only true love’s kiss can break the spell. Can the Good Fairy’s magic save her – and will our heroes live happily ever after?
Don’t get caught napping – book now for an enchanting festive adventure the whole family will love!
(Splash zone warning: there is a live water fight in Act 2. Come prepared with coats and umbrellas to keep your family dry! Water pistols must measure less than 55cm and be filled from one of the free waterfilling stations on site.)

Fun and frolics at Tring panto
Tring Arts Trust presents Sleeping Beauty from 29 December 2026-3 January 2027 at The Dembe Theatre, Tring.
Be sure to get your tickets early following last year’s sell-out performances of Cinderella at The Dembe Theatre, (formerly The Court Theatre), as the panto team this season proudly presents Sleeping Beauty.
With not a soap star in sight, it features a well-known cast of local talent and benefits from more than 50 years of experience of producing pantomime in Tring. So you can expect all the annual on-stage shenanigans that have been delighting generations of returning audiences over the decades – audience participation, and the fun and frolics that have become the team’s trademark, including the opportunity for all youngsters that wish to, to join the cast in a song on the stage towards the end of a show.
The show is produced by Tring Arts Trust (the team that successfully managed the Court Theatre for many years), with all proceeds now going towards the charity’s aim of funding and promoting the local performing arts scene by way of grants and general artistic support.
