Beacon Arts Centre proudly presents its 2025 family panto Sleeping Beauty.
Written by Alan McHugh. Directed by Tony Cownie.
Step into a fairytale world of magical castles, bewitched spinning wheels and an enchanted sleep that only true love’s kiss can break…
There is nothing quite like the joy of a pantomime and we are looking forward to welcoming you to Sleeping Beauty this festive season.
With fabulous songs, spectacular costumes, and oodles of slapstick and gags, a panto wouldn't be a panto without audience participation!
A spellbinding love story about the beautiful Princess Aurora banished to a faraway land to keep her safe from the wicked sorceress, Carabosse who places an evil curse on her that if she pricked her finger before her 21st birthday, she would die! Little did she know that the Queen cast a counter-spell to Carabosse’s curse, ensuring that if Aurora ever did prick her finger on a spindle, she wouldn’t die, but sleep peacefully until woken by true love’s kiss.
Will Carabosse’s curse come to pass?
Will Aurora be revealed as the missing Princess?
Will the course of true love run between Aurora and her prince?
There’s only one way to find out – come to Sleeping Beauty at the Beacon this Christmas!
