A panto isn't just for Christmas! New Mills Arts Theatre will be staging Sleeping Beauty at the start of February.

Panto Dame Nurse Dottie Dettol looked after the royal baby Princess Rose over Christmas, while the rest of the cast got into party mode.

The 2023 New Mills panto, Sleeping Beauty, will open on 3 February. 

King Cactus and Queen Marigold are the proud parents of Princess Rose, watched over by Fairy Lilac and her five trainee Rainbow Fairies protecting her from the bad Witch Hazel and her assistant Egor, who are up to no good with a spinning wheel and nasty spells.  

Fetch and Carrie, the palace messengers are as daft as daft can be along with Muddles, the not-so-great palace handyman plus of course, a prince or two!  

With a strong company ensemble of chorus and dancers, the panto will be ready to bounce onto the Art Theatre stage for opening night.
