Sleeping Beauty is set to bring chart-topping musical hits, fabulous costumes, jaw-dropping special effects and a star-studded cast to @floralpavilion this Christmas. 🤩🎄
The panto is coming to New Brighton from Sat 6 Dec 2025 – Sun 4 Jan 2026.
After the princess is born, she is cursed by an evil fairy to prick her finger on a spindle and die. Thankfully, a good fairy weakens the curse so that instead of dying, the princess falls into a deep sleep that lasts for a hundred years and can be broken by love’s true kiss!
Sprinkling some serious stardust over the production is Kelle Bryan, who plays shimmering Fairy Snowfall. She’s joined by original ‘Matilda’ and Olivier Award-winner Cleo Demetriou as Princess Rose, the always-hilarious Sean Jones as Lester the Jester, and Quinn Patrick as dynamic dame Nanna Nora.
Expect loads of slapstick and slosh, singalongs, plenty of booing and hissing and, of course, a great dame. It’s a brilliant introduction to theatre for children – or a chance for adults to get back to it!
Tickets start from just £15 and you can easily get to the theatre by train with Merseyrail. The theatre’s only a short walk from the station and you can get family tickets, and day savers from £4.80 for adults and £2.40 for children (5-18 years). If you’re driving, you can park right outside for free!
