In the misty highlands of Fantasia, not far north of St Andrews, something magical is afoot…
Times are tough in the kingdom of Fantasia, and hope is in short supply. But one laddie still believes in wishes, wonder and a wee bit of magic – and he might just be about to get the surprise of his life.
Join Aladdin and his wonderfully daft family, the McSwankeys, as they set off on a bonkers Highland adventure in this Scottish take on the classic tale packed with peril, pals, and plenty of panto pranks.
This year’s Byre panto is bursting with songs, silliness and sparkle for all ages. So get ready for a spellbinding trip to Fantasia – just up the road!
Perfect for families, schools, groups, and anyone in need of a good giggle this festive season – get booking and make your festive wishes come true.
You can pick up your free, short programme as you go into the auditorium (bring your colouring pencils if you’d like to colour it in). Or, get the digital programme including complete biographies and puzzles HERE.
