Pantomime Tickets in October 2025

Pantomimes are a staple of West End theatre at Christmastime. The merry tradition sees UK theatres come alive with family-friendly stories, weaving well-known tales with modern discourse and chart-topping songs. You’ll laugh out loud at the dances, comedy sketches, and slapstick storytelling. For many people, a pantomime show is their first experience of being at a theatre. So, if you want to introduce young people to the West End, why not take them to a pantomime this Christmas? See lavish pantomimes like the all-star option at the London Palladium, or discover some of London’s greatest winter shows at the Lyric Hammersmith and the Hackney Empire.
