The Lancaster Adult Panto

Stage Manager Dom visited us in the office this week to chat about the wonderful things he’s going to make happen for Adult Panto 2026! 🙌

The moment he arrived, he was asked to put on this dress. No context. No questions. He put it straight on.

This photo captures the exact moment we told him the dress has absolutely nothing to do with panto.

And that is Dom all over. No idea too big, no request too wild, no challenge too strange. He’ll give it a go, make it work and probably look fabulous while doing it.

One of the many reasons we love him! ❤️

There are 255 days to go until opening night, but behind the scenes, we are already beavering away! 🦫

This week we had a natter with the lovely lot at Lancaster Grand as we started working through all the festive fiddly bits for Adult Panto 2026: Pinocchio!
..And speaking of behind the scenes, ever wondered what goes on backstage? Well according to our photos - a whole lot of this!😆

We interrupt your late night scrolling with an important announcement…

It’s only 297 days until opening night of Adult Panto 2026! 😉😁
To help you survive the wait, here’s a little throwback to Robin Hood 🏹

This was our 17th Adult Panto at the Lancaster Grand, and we’re starting with 17 photos of peak panto magic!

All credit to the brilliant Jonathan Davies 📸 who somehow managed to capture every bit of the clownery and chaos. We’ve got so many more snaps to share with you, prepare your peepers!

If you’re on Instagram, go give him a follow:

More coming soon… once we decide whether certain photos are safe for public consumption. 😂😬

And if you’d like to join us this year, grab yourself a ticket for Pinocchio! There are only 25 seats left for opening night… bonkers, right!? 🎭✨

We're back in the office, but not at our desks... We can't get to them! 😅

We're working in the costume and props department this week, but don't hesitate to get in touch, if we can get to the phone we'll answer and we'll start wading through the inbox very soon.

Thank you for your patience and if you don't hear from us in a few days, assume we've been buried and send help! 😱

We just wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas, you filthy animals! 🏹🐓🥒🦓

It was closing night on Sunday and what a smashing send off it was for our 17th panto production at the Lancaster Grand! 🤯

Big love and huge thanks to the theatre team, our incredible cast & crew and to every single one of you for coming out to see us and supporting us - you lot are our favourites! 😍

We're pretty sure this photo was the last time we were all vertical. You'll now find us lying about the place, ideally with cheese and a glass/mug/bucket of something nice!

Yours Horizontally,
The Lancaster Adult Panto Cast

Oh and it's only 345 days until opening night of our next panto: Pinocchio 😁🤥
