Imperial Classical Ballet® Presents The Nutcracker

Imperial Classical Ballet bring The Nutcracker to the Main Auditorium at Weymouth Pavilion on Thursday 26 November, part of their Autumn 2026 season. It's a production they've taken on tour across the UK, and this is one of the dates they're bringing to Weymouth.

The ballet is set to Tchaikovsky's score, and that's performed live by a full orchestra rather than from a recording. The production is built around classical choreography and a cast of internationally acclaimed dancers, with hand-crafted costumes and set designs that carry the story from the Christmas Eve party through to the Kingdom of Sweets. It's the version of the story most of us know, played out with a live orchestra in the room.

If you're planning to make an evening of it, there are pre-show meals served in the Piano Bar from 5pm, which gives you a chance to eat before the performance starts. The show itself is at 7:30pm in the Main Auditorium, so you've got plenty of time to get sorted beforehand.

Tickets are £40 and £38, with concessions available, and you can book them through the Weymouth Pavilion website.
