Fleet Panto: Aladdin, 25 Shows, Tickets from £16

Fleet’s pantomime this year is Aladdin, at The Harlington on Fleet Road from Friday 11 December to Tuesday 29 December 2026. There are 25 public performances plus two school shows, and the price you pay depends on which week you go: Christmas Eve costs £25 an adult, the opening week and the days after Christmas cost £18.

The Harlington is run by Fleet Town Council, and the panto is the town’s biggest theatre booking of the year. Below is every performance date and time, taken from the venue’s own box office system on 5 September.

The price bands, and the number on the website that is out of date

The box office lists three bands. The venue’s own event page on its website gives a narrower range than the ticketing system does, so go by the bands.

A family ticket is two adults and two concessions. A concession is a student with valid ID or anyone aged 60 or over. School and community group deals are available through the box office.

The practical version: the cheapest seats are in the first week and between Christmas and New Year, and Christmas Eve carries a premium of £7 an adult over the opening week. The Harlington’s website page quotes adults at “£18.00 to £22.00” and family tickets at “£60.00 to £75.00”, which does not match the £25 and £85 top band in the live booking system. Its own structured page data also describes the run as 11 to 28 December rather than 11 to 29. Book from the box office listing rather than the summary. (The Harlington, Aladdin)

What the show is

This is a local script rather than a touring package. Abanazar orders a Spirit of the Ring from Temu and gets Alexa, the Spirit of the Ring Doorbell, who directs him to the Cove of Jewels. The Harlington’s own synopsis places it in “China Town Fleet”, makes Widow Twankey the proprietor of a laundrette cafe, and gets a joke out of Cove being “just past Farnborough”. Wishee Washee and Princess Jasmine, daughter of the takeaway tyrant Sultan Vinegar, complete the cast list.

The pantomime cast also perform on the Gurkha Square stage at the Fleet Christmas Festival on 25 November, which is the cheapest way to see them.

The adult panto, in January

The Harlington has a second pantomime, and it is not for children. Tinderella, from Happy Ending Pantomimes, plays on Friday 29 January 2027, with two performances: doors 5pm for a 5.30pm show, then doors 8pm for an 8.30pm show. Tickets are £32 premium seated and £30 standard seated. It is strictly 16 and over, and under 18s must be with an adult. (The Harlington, Tinderella)
