Imagine Theatre Unveils 2025 Scottish Pantomime Season

Imagine Theatre is bringing the magic of the holidays to life once again with a spectacular lineup of family pantomimes across Scotland, packed with laughter, music, sparkle, and dance. This year’s festive season stars some of Scotland’s best-loved entertainers in Glasgow, Inverness, Kirkcaldy, and Kilmarnock.

“Christmas simply wouldn't be Christmas without pantomime; it's been at the very heart of winter celebrations for hundreds of years,” said Steve Boden, Managing Director of Imagine Theatre. “This year we're thrilled to bring together such a fantastic group of people to bring some of the most-loved fairy tales to life on stage. From household names to incredible local performers, our shows are all about joy, laughter, and making memories that will last a lifetime.”
