This year marks the start of a new chapter for pantomime in Twickenham!

The Exchange has partnered with Ashby Pantomimes to bring a fresh run of large-scale, professional family pantomimes to the venue in the years ahead, beginning with a production that arrives with real pedigree. Our first title is Cinderella, originally nominated for three UK Pantomime Awards in 2022 and now heading to Twickenham with all the spectacle, warmth and comic energy audiences expect from a proper festive outing.

Expect a striking set, brilliant costumes, big ensemble routines and a sharp, generous script at the heart of it all. In short, panto is coming to you this Christmas.

It’s Prince Charming’s Royal Jamboree, and this year it’s been declared that it will take place in Twickenham. But all Prince Charming desires is a normal life, and so, before packing it all in and moving to Canada, he will give it one last try and search in Twickenham for that perfect somebody to share it with.

Join Cinderella as she meets her new step-siblings, Baron Hardup, whose mind is fixed on preparing the most royal of welcomes, and the lovable Buttons, who might finally find the courage to tell Cinderella how he really feels. Together, they are all trying to gain entry to the party of the year.

Packed with laughter, music, transformation and just the right amount of chaos, this is a Cinderella full of heart and high spirits, now arriving in Twickenham as the start of an exciting new tradition for The Exchange.
