About

Sink your claws into the magical story of Beauty and the Beast in 2026. Theatre Royal Wakefield’s panto dream team – the ones behind Jack and the Beanstalk, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty – return with a brand-new beast of a show!


Le Wakey is abuzz with excitement as people prepare for the town’s Summer Festival. (It’s like Glastonbury but with less mud). This is going to be the best summer ever… or it was until a mysterious beast started stalking the woods!


Join Theatre Royal Wakefield this festive season for music and mayhem, laughter and love, plus the highest-powered water pistols money can buy! It’s bold, it’s bonkers, it’s beastly good fun for the whole family!
