Christmas Panto Peter Pan Press Launch 2024/25: A Swashbuckling Success!

Christmas Panto Press Launch 2024/2025: A Swashbuckling Success!

Today, 21st October, we officially kicked off the festive season with our Christmas Panto Press Launch—and what an event it was! The press joined us in style as we were introduced to the vibrant cast of this year’s highly anticipated pantomime, Peter Pan. One by one, the talented performers were brought onto the stage, by none other than our beloved Panto Dame, Mrs. Smee (played brilliantly by Jamie Riding), hosting the event with wit, charm, and more than a few cheeky laughs!

As we were introduced to the magical world of Neverland, we were treated to sneak peeks of what’s to come. We heard a couple of musical numbers that will feature in the show, that already have us buzzing with excitement. We can confidently say that this year’s production is set to be nothing short of spectacular.

The fun didn’t stop there! After the press preview, we headed down to the beach for a series of fantastic photo opportunities. With the stunning seaside backdrop, the cast posed for some truly amazing shots, capturing the adventurous spirit of Peter Pan perfectly.

In true panto fashion, the afternoon had one last surprise up its sleeve. As we made our way back from the beach, none other than the dastardly Captain Hook—mid-costume and fully in character—was hilariously “arrested”! Whether it was for piracy or his devilish schemes, we’ll never know, but we’re sure it’ll only add to the drama when the show hits the stage.

With the countdown to opening night now officially underway, the excitement is real. This year’s Peter Pan promises to be a panto filled with laughter, music, and magic for the whole family. So don’t miss out—hook your tickets now before they fly away! The croc is ticking, and you won’t want to be left disappointed.

Here’s to an unforgettable festive season with Peter Pan! See you in Neverland!
