Each year, QPAC’s in-house theatre company, Unbound, produces an exuberant and joyous pantomime season! Pantomimes have been part of the QPAC calendar since the centre’s inception, with Unbound taking up the mantle in 2015.
2026 – Beloved Books become Pantos!
This year, Unbound presents two brand-new pantomimes, based off some of their favourite books…
It’s time to take a trip down the rabbit hole and enjoy a panto that’s chock full of Wonder(land)!

Age Range & Access
We endeavour to welcome all ages to our pantomimes, however we appreciate that the flurry of colours, lights, and sounds may be a bit much for very young visitors. Our Coffee Bar is available as a quiet space during the performance for patrons struggling to settle.
To help everyone feel able to enjoy our pantomime season, we are offering two signed performances for each pantomime and a relaxed performance for Alice in Wonderland on Saturday 12 December at 5.30pm.
Front row seating can be reserved for patrons unable to use stairs, however this does need to arranged in advance – If you have any access requirements regarding seat reservations, please make sure you let us know either by adding a note to your online booking, or giving us a call on 01296 424332. We can cope with just about anything, so long as we know in advance!
Please don’t hesitate to email fohteam@queensparkarts.com with any specific queries you may have.
