Laughter, Magic and Mayhem Await as Sleeping Beauty Takes Over Cidermill Theatre This Christmas
13th – 31st December 2025
Cidermill Theatre, Chipping Campden
This Christmas, Cidermill Theatre invites audiences to experience a spellbinding festive adventure with Sleeping Beauty – a laugh-out-loud, heart-warming pantomime packed with songs, dance, and plenty of panto fun for the whole family!
Presented in association with Tread the Boards Theatre Company and written and directed by John Robert Partridge, Sleeping Beauty follows the enchanting story of Princess Aurora, who is cursed by the evil fairy Carabosse to prick her finger on a spinning wheel and fall into an endless sleep. Can Nurse Dotty and Muddles save the day and find true love’s kiss before it’s too late?
Audiences can expect all the traditional pantomime magic: spectacular costumes, cheeky humour and joyful audience participation – in a production bursting with energy and festive sparkle.
“We’re thrilled to bring such a beloved story to life at Cidermill Theatre,” John Robert Partridge, Writer and Director. “Our Sleeping Beauty is full of laughter, music and heart – the perfect way for families to celebrate Christmas together.”
Dawn Lodge, Chair – Cidermill Theatre Trustees, said:
“This year’s pantomime is going to be our biggest and best yet, it’s such an important production for Cidermill Theatre. We’re absolutely delighted to be working with John Robert Partridge and Tread the Boards Theatre Company, who we know will deliver a truly show-stopping series of performances. We’re excited to welcome more people through our doors than ever before to experience the magic of this wonderful community theatre.”
And for the grown-ups… Sleeping Beauty – The Adult Pantomime 18+
For three nights only, Cidermill Theatre will also present a hilarious, adults-only twist on the classic fairy tale: Sleeping Beauty – The Adult Pantomime.
Returning by popular demand, the hugely successful Adults Only Pantomime will be packed with all the usual pantomime silliness but with adult content and plenty of saucy festive fun. No two shows are ever the same, making each night a riotous experience to remember.
