Mirror, mirror on the wall, discover the perfect panto for one and all! This festive season, Theatre Royal Portsmouth is producing the spectacular tale of Snow White in true pantomime style.
Running from Friday 12 December 2025 to Sunday 4 January 2026, Snow White is the must-see family Christmas show in Portsmouth.
Join Snow White on her magical journey through the enchanted forest where you’ll meet a colourful cast of characters – the outrageous Nurse Nelly, the lovable Muddles, the dashing Prince Charming, the evil Wicked Queen and, of course, the Magnificent Seven! With main cast members that include West End stars, a panto-award-nominated dame and a prince who you might recognise from TV, the Theatre Royal stage will be bursting with talent! The Magnificent Seven will be played by local young performers after auditions for kids were held earlier in the year, making this pantomime full of Theatre Royal community spirit.
This year the Theatre Royal panto promises to be all the traditional fun you’d expect from your festive family outing, so look no further for things to do this Christmas in Portsmouth. It’s packed with side-splitting comedy, dazzling costumes and fabulous musical numbers that will have you clapping and singing along. Whether you’re cheering for the heroes or booing the baddie, this is an unmissable festive experience.
Everyone should be able to experience the joy of panto, which is why at Theatre Royal Portsmouth there are accessible performances available:
- A BSL Signed Performance on Sunday 14 December at 11am
- A Relaxed performance on Sunday 2 January at 3pm
These tailored performances ensure that audiences of all needs can enjoy the magic of Snow White in an inclusive environment that is comfortable for them. A Relaxed performance is perfect for those who would benefit from a calmer theatre experience – the auditorium lights will be left on, there will be no sudden loud noises and audience members are free to move around the auditorium and make noise.
With tickets from just £10, Snow White is the perfect way to celebrate Christmas with family and friends. Expect dazzling scenery, laugh-out-loud humour and all the heart-warming moments that make pantomime in Portsmouth such a beloved tradition.
Don’t miss your chance to see the fairest panto of them all!
