The pantomime for Milton Keynes Theatre in 2026/27 has been announced today.
Pantomime returns to Milton Keynes Theatre for the 2026/27 season with the magical fairytale Sleeping Beauty, the panto that promises to make dreams come true. Tickets are on sale now for this spellbinding production, running from Sat 5 Dec 2026 to Sun 10 Jan 2027.
Sleeping Beauty is staged by Crossroads Pantomimes, the world’s biggest pantomime producer, led by Michael Harrison and the team behind recent Milton Keynes Theatre Christmas successes, including last season’s production of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
Emma Sullivan, Theatre Director at Milton Keynes Theatre, said:
“As another fantastic pantomime season comes to an end, the team here at Milton Keynes Theatre are already looking forward to this year’s production of Sleeping Beauty….oh yes we are! The feedback for Goldilocks and The Three Bears was spectacular, and audiences can look forward to more fun, excitement and pantomime magic in Sleeping Beauty. We look forward to seeing you all there!”
Make Sleeping Beauty the pantomime of your dreams at Milton Keynes Theatre! Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom, Princess Aurora receives a birthday present from her wicked aunt Carabosse. A single prick of an enchanted spinning wheel places her under a cruel curse and sends her into a century of slumber!
Will true love endure? Will the Prince break the spell? Come and find out in this panto featuring stunning sets and costumes, fantastic special effects and laugh-out-loud comedy!
