Each year, our panto tears up the rulebook and turns a classic story on its head to make it relevant to our local community and beyond.

“If you only see one panto this year. Make it this one!” – Deborah Frances-White (The Guilty Feminist)

Get ready to experience Stratford East’s unique twist on this classic tale, set in the ancient home of Sphynx cats, pharaohs and the empress Cleopatra.

This year’s panto will feature all the right ingredients. You can expect our much-loved mix of show-stopping original music and laugh-out-loud comedy, alongside magical sets and costumes in this perfect festive treat for all ages.
