CINDERELLA
Cinderella
Tuesday 2 December 2025 until Sunday 10 January 2026
Polish your glass slippers and get ready for a sparkling adventure. Running from 2 December 2025 to 10 January 2026, this much-loved fairytale promises to enchant audiences of all ages.
Join us as we tell the timeless story of Cinderella, her wicked stepmother, a magical fairy godmother, and a dash from the ball before the clock strikes midnight. But this is Richmond, so you can expect so much more!
Our legendary pantomime will be packed with all your favourite ingredients. There will be side-splitting comedy and toe-tapping songs, along with our famous panto knitting to keep you in stitches.
Don’t miss the chance to experience the magic and mayhem that makes our pantomime the highlight of the festive season.
The 2024 hit Treasure Island - our most successful pantomime yet - sold out very early so book your tickets for Cinderella now to avoid being late for the ball!
