Sleeping Beauty wins 'Best Panto' at the UK Pantomime Awards

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that our 2025/26 pantomime Sleeping Beauty won Best Pantomime (550-950 Seats) at the UK Pantomime Awards. We were also celebrating nominations for Best Choreography (Kevan Allen) and Best Dame (Matt Crosby).

Some of the Sleeping Beauty team and Arts Theatre staff enjoyed a visit to the Wycombe Swan Theatre for the awards ceremony on Sunday 19 April, held by the UK Pantomime Association. A fantastic time was had by all!
