The nearest professional pantomime to Wymondham this Christmas is Aladdin at the Corn Hall in Diss, running from Friday 18 December 2026 to Sunday 3 January 2027, with 28 performances. Tickets are £20.50 for adults, £18.50 for under-16s and £74 for a family of four. Graham Cole OBE, PC Tony Stamp in ITV’s The Bill, plays the villain Abanazar.

The quick answer

  • Aladdin, The Corn Hall, St Nicholas Street, Diss IP22 4LB. 18 December 2026 to 3 January 2027.
  • Adults £20.50, under-16s £18.50, family ticket £74, restricted view £17.95.
  • Box office 01379 652241. Running time about 2 hours 30 minutes including the interval.

Prices

Ticket Price
Adult £20.50
Under 16 £18.50
Family (2 adults and 2 under-16s, or 1 adult and 3 under-16s) £74.00
Restricted view £17.95

A family ticket for four works out at £18.50 a head, the same as a child’s seat, so for two adults and two children it saves £4 on buying separately.

Panto Pay splits a family ticket into three payments of £23.33, £23.33 and £23.34. It is only available when booking in person or by phone, and the Corn Hall says the total includes a £1 per person booking fee. The second payment window, 1 to 28 August, has already passed, so a booking made now falls outside the published schedule; ring the box office to ask whether they will still take it. The final payment is due by Friday 30 October 2026. Payments are non-refundable and cannot be moved to another performance.

Every performance

The show runs twice a day on most days, with morning and afternoon shows on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, no show on Christmas Day, and one show on Boxing Day.

Closer to home: Hethersett

Hethersett Pantomime Group, a volunteer company that has been staging shows for 55 years and gives the money raised to charity, has announced Sleeping Beauty as its 2027 production on its own website. No dates or tickets are published yet. Its 2026 production, Robin Hood, sold out almost every performance, so it is worth watching for the on-sale date.

Still to be confirmed

  • Relaxed or signed performances of Aladdin, if any.
  • Hethersett’s Sleeping Beauty dates and tickets.
