We invite you to join us for our 2026 pantomime, Sleeping Beauty - a spellbinding adventure filled with laughter, music and a touch of fairy-tale magic.
When a wicked fairy’s curse puts Princess Aurora into a deep sleep, it’s up to a charming prince, a brave kitty, and plenty of panto mischief to save the day! Expect colourful characters, catchy songs, and all the traditional fun that will make the BDS pantomime a highlight of your year.
Don’t miss our enchanting family show!
Autumn production
Nick Thorogood directed Noel Coward’s classic 1941 farce, Blithe Spirit. Socialite and novelist Charles Condomine invites eccentric medium and clairvoyant Madame Arcati to his house to conduct a séance. He gets more than he bargained for when he is haunted by the ghost of his temperamental first wife, Elvira, who attempts to disrupt Charles's marriage to his second wife, Ruth, who cannot see or hear the ghost.
