Let your dreams take flight at Dorking Halls…

Join the boy who never grows up Peter Pan and take part in his adventures with Wendy as they fly off to Neverland and meet some fantastical characters along the way; Tinker Bell, the Lost Children, Tiger Lily, Nana the dog, Pirates, Mr Smee and the wicked Captain Hook.

With a ridiculously talented cast starring Collabro’s Thomas Redgrave as Peter Pan, the Sugababes’ Amelle Berrabah as Tiger Lily, hilarious comedy double act Simmons & Simmons as Smee & Starkey, and West End star Sophie Elmes as Wendy, prepare to be wowed this Christmas time at Dorking Halls.

Don’t miss another spectacular family pantomime from the same team behind previous Christmas productions of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Sleeping Beauty.
