Gala Night — A Sparkling Opening Celebration

Join us for a truly magical evening as we officially launch this year’s Christmas pantomime in glittering style.

Our Gala Night is a chance to enjoy the show with a little extra festive sparkle — expect a warm welcome, a celebratory atmosphere, and a theatre full of excitement as the curtain rises for the very first time.

Fancy dress is warmly encouraged, whether you come as a prince, princess, fairy, villain, or just your most fabulous festive self!

Arrive early, soak up the buzz, and be part of a joyful Blakehay tradition as we open the Christmas season together. NB: Adding extra loo rolls into The Twelve Days of Christmas was SO much fun last year (it even started a bit of a trend!) that we thought… oh well, we’ll have to do it again then, won’t we? 😉 So feel free to bring an extra roll to take aim at the cast…

We are starting a tradition of trying to deliver a fantastic affordable family panto, as we think Christmas is expensive enough already, and because of this we won’t be selling plastic light-up flashy toys, that get left in the car on the way home 😆 but you’re very welcome to bring along one you already have!
