It's going to be paw-some! Dick Whittington announced as 2025 panto
The award-winning team behind Derby’s smash-hit pantomimes will be back for 2025 with the spectacular Dick Whittington.
As this year’s festive extravaganza Cinderella gets underway at Derby Arena, we’re excited to announce the 2025 pantomime is already confirmed – and tickets are on sale now!
The show will be brought to you by the same team behind Cinderella and past shows including the egg-cellent Mother Goose in 2023 and the spellbinding Aladdin in 2022.
Join Dick Whittington on his search for fame and fortune as he sets off for London, where the streets are paved with gold - or are they?
It’s going to take some help from Fairy Bow Bells and his trusty cat, if he’s going to stop a rather repellent rat from taking over the world!
Featuring stunning sets, fantastic frocks, lavish meow-sical numbers and side-splitting slapstick, this panto is the purr-fect Christmas treat for the whole family. Get your tickets now, it’s going to be paw-some!
Produced by multi-award-winning, Derby-based Little Wolf Entertainment and Derby City Council’s Derby LIVE team, the stage is set for yet another festive cracker that’s sure to get stand out reviews - like Mother Goose in 2023:
“An absolute must see panto created with fun and frolics for all the family! Can we go again?” Derby Days Out
“A must see this festive season; it’s certainly got us into the Christmas spirit!” Boom Magazine
“An enjoyable family pantomime with a talented cast, fabulous set and costumes and a wonderful selection of songs” West End Best Friend
“Mother Goose delivers a relentless showing of fun for all the family” Derby Telegraph
Dick Whittington will be at Derby Arena from Fri 5 Dec until Wed 31 Dec 2025. Tickets are priced from £20 -£35 with concessions available. Book now on the Derby LIVE website.
