Goldilocks And The Three Bears

9th December 2026 – 3rd January 2027

The greatest show in pantoland is coming to town as Goldilocks and the Three Bears tumbles into Canterbury this festive season! Watch in wonder as The Malthouse is spectacularly transformed into a marvellous, magical big top extravaganza, helmed once again by the incomparable Joseph Gardner Hodges, returning for his sensational sixth year as the outrageously fabulous Ringmaster Fanny! Prepare to be dazzled, delighted and thoroughly lost in the sparkle of the circus.

From the award-winning creative team behind our record-breaking productions of Sleeping Beauty, Peter Pan, Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella and Snow White, this year’s GOLDILOCKS is set to raise the tent poles even higher. Expect a show that’s bear-y magical and un-bear-ably funny, featuring a phenomenal West End cast, spectacular costumes, jaw-dropping special effects and laugh-out-loud comedy guaranteed to have the whole family roaring with joy. And with tickets from just £10.00, it’s a circus treat that won’t break the piggy bank.

Roll up for the fun, stay for the magic!

This pantomime is truly the greatest show!

Mask Wearing & Covid-19
