Potted Panto London Tickets 2024

This Christmas, Potted Panto, London's longest-running pantomime comes back to Wilton's Music Hall in the East End. It's seven times merrier as this Olivier Award-nominated show brings to the stage a compilation of seven beloved festive pantomimes, all in just 80 minutes.

It's the perfect occasion for a family day out this festive season, delighting children and parents alike. Be sure to book in advance as the show is set to wow audiences for a strictly limited four-week run.

What is Potted Panto about?

Christmas wouldn't be the same without the sacred tradition of pantomime, and what's better than seven pantomimes all in one show? Returning for just four weeks, Potted Panto delights toddlers, teenagers and older generations alike with a combination of beloved fairy tales, bringing you slapstick humour and questionable jokes that will have you giggling from the edge of your seat.

Take a madcap ride through some of the greatest and most beloved pantomime stories. Help Cinderella find her glass slipper, join Aladdin and the Genie on an extravaganza of adventures, walk the golden streets of London with Dick Whittington, and find a prince for Sleeping Beauty. 

The show also includes Jack and the Beanstalk, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and A Christmas Carol. Expect a series of eccentric plots with out-of-character heroes, cross-dressing and sing-alongs that will delight all generations. 

Potted Panto cast

Potted Panto has seen a number of revivals over the years and returned to London several times. Performers and writers Daniel Clarkson and Jefferson Turner launched the now-famous pantomime at the Vaudeville Theatre in 2010, and now it’s back for another season in London's East End.

Director Richard Hurst brings Dan and Jeff’s double act to the stage. The Olivier-nominated creative pair has also wowed audiences with Potted Potter (Olivier-nominated in 2012), Potted Pirates and Potted Sherlock, which had sell-out seasons in London's West End and New York, followed by international tours.
