Booking and payment details will be available from Vanessa closer to the time.
Get ready for a magical, laugh-out-loud family treat as our 2026 panto, Beauty And The Beast, bursts onto the Derngate stage!
Don’t miss this year’s spectacular, fun-filled family pantomime, Beauty And The Beast, starring TV legend, Steve McFadden (EastEnders) as the booable baddie Grumblewart and iconic children’s TV star Dani Harmer (Tracy Beaker) as Fairy Cupid! Pantomime favourite Sam Rabone, who is also co-directing this year’s show, will play our Dame, Madame Bellie Fillop.
Returning to Northampton, Dave Bibby joins the cast playing Phillipe Fillop, having previously been seen as Buttons in Royal & Derngate’s Cinderella two years ago. The principal cast will be completed by Georgia Brierley-Smith (Tinkerbell in last year’s Peter Pan) as Belle, Christian Southway as the Beast and Prince Henri, and US actor Sage Spiker making his UK panto debut as Danton.
Beauty And The Beast will, once again, be written…
