A Magical Schools Pantomime Experience Across London, Surrey & Hampshire

Bringing Live Theatre Directly Into Schools

For over a decade, Playhouse Parties has been bringing the magic of live theatre directly into school halls. What began as a small touring production has grown into one of the most trusted schools’ pantomime experiences in Southern England, transforming assemblies and halls into unforgettable theatrical adventures.

Our productions are designed specifically for primary school audiences — combining professional performance, interactive storytelling, and inclusive theatre techniques to ensure every child can enjoy the experience.

Robin Hood – Our 2026/27 Touring Production

We are very excited to announce that this year’s show is Robin Hood. Opening in late November and touring until the middle of January, this brand-new schools’ pantomime invites audiences to journey into Sherwood Forest and help stop the Sheriff of Nottingham.

🏹 An Adventure Through Sherwood Forest – Sherwood Forest is in peril, and it is up to Robin Hood, Maid Marian, and the children to pull together, outsmart the Sheriff of Nottingham, and save the day before it is too late.

A Special Moment From Last Year’s Tour

Last year’s pantomime tour included a particularly special performance at the Piper Arts Centre at
Prior’s Court, a specialist setting supporting autistic young people with complex needs.

The performance marked an important milestone for the centre, hosting its first pantomime performances with three shows across the day for different student groups. Around 95% of young people attended, and the day was described as a great success for everyone involved.
