Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch is delighted to announce this year’s panto extravaganza will be Dick Whittington. This family favourite will run from 23 November – 31 December 2023.

Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch have been producing top-quality traditional pantomime for 70 years. You can guarantee that all the family will enjoy this festive treat, which mixes slap-stick entertainment with the sparkle of a West End show.
