Shows with Christmas sparkle! 

Liz Nicholls

Here’s our choice of family-friendly pantomimes, shows & great days out for Bucks readers 

Locals don’t get more vocal than La Voix. So it’s cheering to know that the red-headed Bucks beauty, who first found fame on Britain’s Got Talent, is back to star in the Wycombe Swan pantomime.  

“Darlings… Brace yourselves!” says La Voix, who will dazzle alongside Vernon Kay (see our Q&A) in Aladdin, 13th December to 5th January. “I can’t wait to get back on that stage, with stunning costumes, side-splitting comedy, powerhouse vocals… and I’m sure the other cast members will add something to the show too.” Book your tickets at wycombeswan.co.uk 

Volunteers have worked hard to craft beautiful scenery, costumes, and props for The Storyteller at Aylesbury’s Queens Park Arts Centre, 13th to 29th December. Expect a mixture of sing-along songs, riotous slapstick & dazzling dances, with affordable tickets and relaxed & BSL shows. queensparkarts.com 

Meanwhile, the wonderful Berko Panto will grant your Christmas wishes, with Cinderella 19th to 31st December. Join Cinders in this rags to riches tale of bravery, courage and determination, starring RuPaul’s Drag Race star Veronica Green as The Wicked Baroness and ventriloquist Chris “Krisgar” Garside as Buttons. Berkhamsted’s first ever professional pantomime at the Centenary Theatre will be a real cracker! Please visit berkopanto.co.uk 

There’s nothing as heart-warming as seeing excited little faces all lit up. And The Realms of Mystica lantern festival walk at the Dinosaur & Farm Park in Milton Keynes, MK15 0DT, has been earning glowing reviews! There are magical photo points across the trail and dog-friendly nights; visit miltonkeynes.landoflights.co.uk. You can also enjoy a festive family adventure with rides, a Santa’s grotto & gifts up to 23rd December at Gulliver’s Land, MK15 0DT. Visit gulliverslandresort.co.uk 

Don coats or brollies for The Further Adventures of Peter Pan: The Return of Captain Hook at Aylesbury Waterside Theatre, 6th December to 5th January. This family favourite will have you hooked, thanks to an epic water fight and stars Bradley Riches, Andy Collins & Mark Moraghan. aylesburywatersidetheatre.co.uk 

The Elgiva Theatre in Chesham is always a treasurebox of family fun. You’d better be quick to book tickets for Aladdin 7th to 13th December. Visit elgiva.com for more goodies. 

Henley’s Kenton Theatre will welcome you for Snow White 14th to 30th December with dazzling costumes, spectacular dance routines, a hilarious script & more; thekenton.org.uk
