A gold title 'Sleeping Beauty' with a spinning wheel resting on the S, a fairy dotting the I and a castle below. The backgroup is a purple galaxy with a moon in the sky.

It's time for a spellbinding adventure by Plested, Brown and Wilsher - packed with laughter, magic and enough sparkle to light up Newburyshire! 

Welcome to the Berkshire School for the Best Behaved, where perfect pupils are expected to mind their manners... but with this lot, that's easier said than done! Headmistress Madam Marvellous does her best to keep everyone in line, but when a wicked fairy casts a terrible spell over Sleeping Beauty, the classroom is thrown into complete chaos.  

It’s now up to the whole panto gang to break the curse before Sleeping Beauty sleeps through the rest of the century! Will good triumph over evil? Will true love save the day? And will anyone ever manage to stay out of detention! Oh yes, they will!  

Expect all the ingredients of a classic Corn Exchange Newbury Panto, side-splitting comedy, dazzling costumes, spectacular scenery, fabulous live music, sensational choreography and plenty of magical moments along the way - Sleeping Beauty is the ultimate festive treat for the whole family. 

So, wake up, join the class and prepare for a fairy tale that's anything but sleepy! 

Sleeping Beauty is supported by Rivar Ltd.
