This performance is perfect for anyone who might find the usual theatre environment a little overwhelming including people with sensory, communication and learning sensitivities, or anyone who would feel more at ease in a less formal theatre environment.

You can expect the same West End quality production – with a few thoughtful adjustments to ensure everyone can enjoy the magic.

During the performance our auditorium lights will remain at 50%, so you are welcome to move around, make noise, or come and go as needed.

We will begin with a friendly introduction explaining any special effects. Plus, we can provide access information with a social story ahead of your visit, so that everyone feels prepared.

Join us and enjoy all the joy, laughter and sparkle of our traditional family pantomime — in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

Full Disclaimer:

• Dolly the Cow will be performed by talented actors rather than a Salt Pig Farm heifer as we don’t think they could remember the dance steps, moooove quickly or sing in tune.
• And the role of Giant Blunderbore will not be performed by a real giant as we couldn’t find one in Dorset other than in Cerne Abbas…
• Anyone with a legume allergy should be reassured that only artificial beans are used in this production.
• And yes – the 12 days of Christmas will feature the annual toilet roll throw!
• Singing along, laughter, and having a fabulous time are all fully encouraged in Poole’s fabulous family pantomime.
