Sleeping Beauty at the Floral: The Christmas Spectacle You Can’t Miss!
100 days ‘til Christmas… and the countdown to magic begins!
This festive season, the Floral Pavilion transforms into a glittering kingdom of enchantment as the curtain rises on Sleeping Beauty — a spellbinding pantomime packed with star power, sparkle, and sensational surprises!
From Saturday 6 December 2025 to Sunday 4 January 2026, audiences will be swept into a whirlwind of wonder as a dazzling cast brings this timeless tale to life in a show bursting with West End flair, traditional panto charm, and jaw-dropping theatrical magic.
Starring the Fabulous Kelle Bryan!
Leading the cast is the radiant Kelle Bryan — pop royalty as a founding member of Eternal, soap star sensation in Hollyoaks, and a familiar face on Loose Women. With her powerhouse vocals and magnetic stage presence, Kéllé brings warmth, wit and wow-factor to this festive extravaganza.
Welcoming Olivier Award-Winner Cleo Demetriou!
Recently announced: the phenomenal Cleo Demetriou joins the cast as Princess Rose! As one of the original Matildas in Matilda the Musical, Cleo made history as the youngest ever winner of the Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Musical. She’s since captivated audiences on CBBC’s So Awkward — and now she’s ready to enchant the Wirral!
Returning Favourites & Fabulous Villains
Back by popular demand, Sean Jones returns as the lovable Lester the Jester, while the outrageously hilarious Quinn Patrick once again dons the glittering heels of Nanny Nora. And prepare to boo and hiss as the wickedly wonderful Amy Perry takes on the role of Carabosse — the villain audiences will love to hate!
What the Producers Say…
Martin Dodd, Producer at UK Productions, said:
Last year’s pantomime set the bar high - but this year’s Sleeping Beauty will shatter it. We’ve created a show that doesn’t just sparkle, it dazzles; a production so alive with star power, laughter and theatrical magic that it will wake audiences from even the deepest festive slumber.
With a stellar cast led by the radiant Kelle Bryan and the phenomenal Olivier Award-winner Cleo Demetriou, alongside returning favourites and wonderfully wicked villains, this is pantomime casting at its very finest. Add in breathtaking choreography, jaw-dropping sets, dazzling costumes, and lighting that will quite literally stop you in your tracks, and you’ve got a show that doesn’t just dream big, it delivers bigger.
This is pantomime on a whole new scale: bold, brilliant, and brimming with festive joy. The Floral Pavilion’s Sleeping Beauty is set to be a Christmas spectacular like no other - a show audiences will be talking about long after the final curtain falls.
Pauline Campbell, Venue Manager at the Floral Pavilion, added:
