The Shipwright pantomime returns for it’s fifth year.
From the team that brought you The Pied Piper, Peter Pan, The Emperor’s New Clothes and Sleeping Beauty comes another brand new musical comedy. Have we decided what the story is yet? Oh no we haven’t! Is it eccentric to announce dates without a story confirmed? Oh yes it is! But after five glorious years we thought why the hell not. We’ll let you know what the tale is the moment we decide! Featuring our wonderful regular cast it promises to be the perfect way to get Christmas started.
Save the dates 9 - 13 December 2025. Tickets on sale later this year.
What is Pay What You Can?
The Saver, Standard and Supporter tickets all get the same experience, but we let you choose which one’s right for you. We suggest you get a Standard ticket, but if times are tough, the Saver ticket is just as good! If you can spare a few more quid, then buying a Supporter ticket helps us keep making great shows at the Shipwright and helps to pay-it-forward for those buying a Saver ticket.
We believe passionately in the accessibility of art (err, pantomime) for everyone, and that no-one should be excluded because of their financial circumstances. If the Saver ticket is still too much, and you’d love to see the show, get in touch with general@theshipwright.co.uk and we’ll see what we can do.
Other Ways To Save
If you live on Watergate Street or are a member of one of our partner engagement groups then you can come to any event for free. We can offer two tickets per show on the day so long as the show isn’t already sold out - find out more here.
