Sleeping Beauty Set for Milton Keynes Theatre Panto 2026

Make Sleeping Beauty the pantomime of your dreams at Milton Keynes Theatre, running from Saturday 5 December 2026 to Sunday 10 January 2027. Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom, Princess Aurora receives a birthday gift from her wicked aunt Carabosse — and one prick of an enchanted spinning wheel sends her into a century-long sleep. But will true love endure? Will the Prince break the spell? Come and find out in this magical panto packed with stunning sets and costumes, fantastic special effects and laugh-out-loud comedy. Tickets are already on sale, with casting for Sleeping Beauty set to be announced later in 2026.

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!”

There’s a performance for everybody this festive season, including a signed performance on Tue 29 December at 7pm, an audio-described performance on Sat 19 December at 2.30pm, a captioned performance on Wed 6 January at 7pm, and a relaxed performance on Wed 6 January at 1pm. The relaxed performance offers a more informal atmosphere and welcomes anyone who would benefit from a gentler theatre experience — ensuring everyone can enjoy the magic of panto. ✨
