This Christmas, you're invited to the pantomime of your dreams - SLEEPING BEAUTY, at the Eric Morecambe Centre, Harpenden.
Once upon a time in a Pantoland far, far away, a beautiful princess is cursed by the evil Carbosse to perish on her 18th birthday by pricking her finger on a spinning wheel. Thanks to Fairy Nuff, Sleeping Beauty falls into a deep sleep that can only be broken by her one true love. Will the handsome prince come to her rescue, fight the dragon, destroy Carabosse, and save the day? Will the hilarious Nurse Nelly finally find the man of her dreams and will Chester the Jester find his own super powers to protect the princess? There's only one way to find out...
Don't miss this year's spectacular pantomime from the same team that brought you last... Read more

The Elves and the Jingle Bell Ball
The British Schools Museum
Sat 28th December 2024 - Tue 31st December 2024
9.30, 11.30, 13.30, 15.30
It's that time between Christmas and New Year, when all the presents have been delivered and it's time for the North Pole's annual Jingle Bell Ball!
This year, it's up to our elves to organise the most magical event of the year - what could possibly go wrong?!
Our family friendly show is suitably for all children 1-12, with a little something for everyone. We have packed our show with more songs and silliness to keep the whole family entertained and this year we end our performance with a mini disco to celebrate the end of Christmas and the beginning of a new year!
