Enjoy a brand new spin on a much-loved yarn for Christmas 2021 with a spellbinding new pantomime at Derby Arena.
The royal family and doting Dame are preparing for the christening of the baby Princess. Wicked fairy Carabosse, the thorn in the family’s side, isn’t included in the guest list. When she finds out, she is furious and sets out to ruin their happiness.
As the Princess falls into a 100-year sleep and overgrown trees surround the castle, it is up to the dashing Prince to hack his way through and rescue his sweetheart. With daring duels, doting dragons, lavish sets and costumes and bucket loads of laughs, the team behind Jack and the Beanstalk and Peter Pan are back to lift the spell over Derby with this magical new pantomime.
