Adult Pantomime Cinderella

Weymouth Pavilion and Enchanted Entertainment are bringing back their adults-only pantomime, Cinderella, on Friday 1 and Saturday 2 January 2027, with both shows starting at 7:30pm. It's a return by popular demand, so if you've seen their previous work, this will feel familiar territory. The production is billed as a risqué 16+ show, and they're open about what that means: strong adult language, very saucy humour and plenty of dancing. It's not the kind of thing you'd bring the kids to, but it's exactly the kind of thing you'd take a group of friends for a night out.

At its heart, it's the Cinderella story we all know—the rags-to-riches tale where the pumpkin and white mice turn into a coach and horses—but played for an adult crowd. The auditorium is seated, though some performances actively encourage dancing, so you might find yourself on your feet rather than just watching from your chair. It comes from the same team behind the Pavilion's previous Jack and the Beanstalk, and they're billing this as their greatest pantomime yet.

If you're planning to make a proper evening of it, there's a pre-show meal you can book in the Piano Bar, which is a handy way to get some food in before the curtain goes up. Tickets are £25, and with two performances across the two nights, you've got a choice of when to go. Both start at 7:30pm on Friday 1 and Saturday 2 January at Weymouth Pavilion.
