Get ready for a hair-raising adventure as we announce our 2026 pantomime at The Preston Playhouse Theatre, Rapunzel! Written by the brilliant Tom Whalley, this year’s show is packed full of laugh-out-loud comedy, toe-tapping tunes, and all the classic panto fun you know and love.

Join Rapunzel, locked away in her tower by the wicked Gothel, as she dreams of seeing the world beyond her window. With the help of a dashing hero, a larger-than-life Dame, and plenty of audience participation (oh yes there is!), will she finally escape and live happily ever after?

Expect dazzling costumes, outrageous jokes, and more terrible puns than you can shake a frying pan at. Perfect for the whole family, Rapunzel promises magic, mischief, and a whole lot of panto sparkle at the Playhouse this festive season!

Tickets go on general sale from 1st October 2026!
