Peter Pan the Pantomime

About this show

Magic, mayhem, and a little bit of mischief!

The Cheltenham Playhouse is proud to be bringing back their iconic annual Christmas pantomime this December 2026 with a completely original take on JM Barrie’s beloved children’s story Peter Pan and taking to the skies with a whole new adventure.

In the heart of Kensington Gardens, a peculiar circus is about to take flight…

Join Peter Pan and a wildly unpredictable troupe as they attempt to stage a spectacular show where anything can happen - and usually does.

With a mischievous Tinker Bell, a flamboyant Miss Smee, and the ever-scheming Captain Hook lurking close behind, this reimagined adventure spirals into a whirlwind of music, magic, and mayhem.

As the lines between performance and reality begin to blur, the company must pull together to keep the show alive…

A joyful, high-energy spectacle packed with laughter, surprises, and just a touch of fairy dust.


Festive Family Fun for all ages.

    NOTE: Relaxed Performance If you have learning or sensory disabilities, or care for someone who does, you’ll understand how difficult it would be to attend a regular theatre performance. With lighting effects, loud noises and large crowds, stage shows can seem really overwhelming. We believe everyone should be able to experience the magic of theatre. Relaxed Performances provide the exact same production as a typical audience would enjoy, with an atmosphere and attitude in the auditorium that makes everyone feel safe and comfortable.
