This year, the Belgrade Theatre brings audiences the enchanting tale of Sleeping Beauty, one of its most popular pantomime titles ever!

When Princess Aurora pricks her finger on an enchanted spinning wheel, she’s cursed to fall into a deep sleep for 100 years – unless she’s awakened by true love’s kiss. Enter the dashing Prince and his two hilariously clumsy sidekicks, who set off on a daring adventure to rescue the Princess from her terrible fate. But with the wicked Fairy Carabosse determined to spoil their plans, will the trio succeed, or is Aurora destined for a century of snoozing? You’ll have to join us to find out!

Sleeping Beauty will be packed with everything audiences love about the Belgrade’s famous Christmas pantomime – spectacular sets, stunning costumes, a fire-breathing dragon, and plenty of laughter to wake even the sleepiest of spectators. Expect a feel-good family experience filled with magic, mischief, and memorable moments.
