Review: POTTED PANTO, Wilton’s Music Hall
by Christiana Rose - Dec 8, 2025

Potted Panto returns to Wilton’s Music Hall for a triumphant third season and once again confirms why it remains a beloved fixture of the festive calendar. Presented by James Seabright in association with Wilton’s Music Hall, this Olivier Award nominated whirlwind offers seven pantomimes in a brisk eighty minutes, carried by the endlessly energetic duo Daniel Clarkson and Gary Trainor.
