Open your eyes to Festive Fun in Aylesbury!

There is lots of festive fun to enjoy in Aylesbury this December with a host of events and activities for all the family.  Click here to discover more about the great line-up of events taking place in and around the town.

There will be pantomime fun at Aylesbury Waterside Theatre with The Further Adventures of Peter Pan: The return of Captain Hook; starring Bradley Riches, Andy Collins and Mark Morghan. The spectacular pantomime is set to sail the seven seas and anchor up in Aylesbury for a swashbuckling Christmas full of galleons of fun! The show runs until Sunday 5 January.

At the Queen Park Arts Centre the Limelight Theatre will be hosting two exciting shows. The first is a mini panto adventure with an hour-long tale of Cinderella taking place on 7 December. This is the perfect prologue to this year’s epic pantomime adventure ‘The Storyteller’ running from 13 – 29 December. The centre is also playing host to a Christmas Pop Up Shop from 12 -14 December with a great selection of unique handcrafted items that make perfect gifts.

Over at the Discover Bucks Museum there are a number of events and activities including an Off the Wall Art Fair, a one-man performance of A Christmas Carol and family friendly workshops and crafts to get you in the Christmassy mood!

Away from the town centre you can enjoy Christmas at the Farm at Hogshaw Farm with a variety of festive fun, hop on the Panto Express steam train ride and enjoy a pantomime at Buckinghamshire Railway or enjoy the Winter Wonderland at Hartwell Nurseries.  At all of these venues you’ll also get a chance to meet Father Christmas!

Back in the town centre there’s another opportunity to visit Father Christmas at Friars Square.  Find out when you can meet him here.
