Journey with Red Riding Hood into the woods for the Lime Tree Panto this Christmas!
Red Riding Hood comes to the Lime Tree Theatre from Dec 6th 2025 – Jan 4th 2026 and promises to be an exciting, magical, all-singing, all-dancing, laugh-out-loud pantomime adventure!

The cast, crew and creative team are hard at work to bring the magic of Red Riding Hood to life for opening night.

Rehearsals have begun in the Belltable Hub, and its old Georgian halls are echoing with the sound of tap shoes and pop hit tunes.

During “tech week” the crew is transforming the rehearsal room’s imaginings into a glamorous Panto reality in Lime Tree Theatre.
