A warm lit-up street with a blue sun-set sky and a cat on the roof with a person walking through the streets. The title in golden yellow 'Dick Whittington' is at the top with a bell below.

The award-winning Plested Brown and Wilsher are back with another #NewburyPanto extravaganza, with the enchanting and dazzling Dick Whittington.

Join Dick on a pantomime adventure as he journeys from Newburyshire to London with his loyal, furry friend on a quest to seek fame and fortune. But will the streets really be paved with gold?

You can expect all of the usual Newbury pantomime fun, with toe-tapping tunes from across the decades, plenty of magic and sparkle, and, of course, lots of laughter - purrfect for the whole family. 

Can Dick conquer the evil King Rat? And will he save the city of London? You’ll have to find out for yourselves!

Don’t cat-nap and get your tickets now!
