About Beauty and the Beast

Written and directed by Gordon Barr

Performances 2.00pm and 7.00pm (except Christmas Eve and Hogmanay at 1.00pm and 5.00pm – find full performance dates below)

Captioned Performance: Saturday 7 December, 2.00pm
Relaxed Performance: Tuesday 10 December, 1.00pm
Audio-described Performance: Saturday 14 December, 2.00pm

Tickets all £14.00 for the preview on Thursday 28 November and from £21.00 full price for other performances. Concessions and family tickets available.

Brought to you from the creators of all the much-loved Byre pantos since 2014.

Fantasia is in beastly bother once again! But will our trusty heroine be able to make sure that everything comes up roses?

True love might defeat the baddies in every other panto but in this festive fable, we’ve got a Belle who isn’t exactly in the mood and her mum who is sassy, brassy and in no way classy.

One thing’s for sure – there will be singing, dancing and a bunch of laughs for everyone.
