Welcome to a long-forgotten, fairy-filled kingdom… a land of crowns, curses… and chaos! The wicked sorceress Carabosse has placed a nasty curse on Princess Beauty: on her 18th birthday our lovely princess will prick her finger on a spinning wheel and maybe even die!

The kingdom is thrown into turmoil and greeting about it won’t help! Only the brave, bold and slightly bonkers Fairy Monty and his magical band of sparkles, laughter and confusion can keep hope alive.

Can they protect Princess Beauty from her fate? 

Will true love — and a very heroic prince — really be enough to break the curse of Carabosse?

Along the way there’s silliness, royal romance, wicked tricks, dazzling songs, and more jeers and hisses than you can shake a giant spindle at!

You’ll cheer the goodies… you’ll boo the baddie… you’ll be shouting, clapping and singing along – just mind and don’t let Carabosse hear you!

Come join us for a magical panto full of giggles, thrills and fairytale spills - because in this kingdom, true love’s kiss conquers all.

Get yourself in the Christmas spirit this festive season by coming along to Lanark Memorial Hall and watching the classic movie the way it was intended – on the big screen.

Having left the Army following WWII, Bob Wallace and Phil Davis team up to become a top song-and-dance act. 

Davis plays matchmaker and introduces Wallace to a pair of beautiful sisters (Betty and Judy) who also have a song-and-dance act. When Betty and Judy travel to a Vermont lodge to perform a Christmas show, Wallace and Davis follow, only to find their former commander, General Waverly, as the lodge owner.

A series of romantic mix-ups ensue as the performers try to help the General.

Starring Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye and Rosemary Clooney, this is a real festive classic.

Available to book online or by calling Lanark Memorial Hall on 01555 673199.
