Cinderella – The World’s Most Magical Christmas Pantomime

Cinderella pantomime Christmas is a British institution – and quite simply the most magical rags to riches story ever told on a festive stage.

From the tiniest village hall production to the most spectacular West End extravaganza, one thing never changes: the moment those glass slippers appear, the entire audience falls completely under the spell.

We have loved Cinderella for a long time here, and now the London Palladium is staging what promises to be the most spectacular production.

Buckle up.

Why Cinderella Is Britain’s Favourite Christmas Panto

Cinderella is performed more than any other pantomime in the UK every Christmas, and it is not difficult to understand why.

The story of a kind-hearted girl who overcomes cruelty, injustice and a frankly unreasonable amount of housework to find her prince is as timeless and universally beloved today as it was when Charles Perrault first wrote it in 1697.

Every element of the classic pantomime formula is present – a brilliant Dame, two gloriously terrible villains, a fairy godmother, a dashing prince and enough audience participation to keep even the most restless five-year-old completely captivated from opening number to final curtain call.

We can’t wait to hear someone shout – he’s behind you!

Cinderella At The London Palladium Christmas 2026

This year, the London Palladium is staging what is already being described as the most anticipated Christmas pantomime in years, and the cast alone is enough to make any panto lover excited.

Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders are reuniting on the West End stage for the first time in seventeen years as the wickedly hilarious Ugly Sisters – joined by the incomparable Julian Clary as the glittering Fairy Godfather.

If there is a more perfect combination of talent for a Christmas pantomime anywhere, we have absolutely no idea what it might be.
