A new stage production of Cinderella will be coming to Bournemouth Pavilion this Christmas.

The annual pantomime will run from Saturday, December 6 to Sunday, January 4, 2026, produced by UK Productions Ltd.

This year's show will feature several dancers from the local area, set to perform alongside professionals on the historic stage.

For some of these dancers, this will be their debut theatre appearance, having been selected from auditions earlier in the year, with rehearsals underway.

Members of The Stage Door School of Dance and Steppin' Out Academy will feature in the production.

Julie Headford, director at The Stage Door School of Dance, said: "Performing in Bournemouth Pavilion's pantomime is a wonderful opportunity for our young performers."

Meanwhile, professional dancer Jessie Adams will make her third consecutive pantomime appearance at the pavilion.

Returning to the festive stage, she said: "My experience within the Bournemouth community during panto season is nothing but pure joy, with constant fun and supportive audiences."

Completing the talented cast are Melanie Walters from 'Gavin & Stacey', children's television presenter Olivia Birchenough, comedian Noel Brodie, West End star Jack Wilcox, and the Fabulous Sisters Jamie Morris and Tarot Joseph.

Tickets are available from £19 for selected performances and can be purchased from the website.
