Beauty and the Beast Pantomime by the Launton Village Players
19 February 2025 to 22 February 2025
About Beauty and the Beast Pantomime by Launton Village Players
The Launton Village Players put on a pantomime every February half term in Bicester, and their next panto will be “Beauty and the Beast” from Wednesday, 19 to Saturday, 22 February 2025, in the Performance Hall at The Cooper School in Bicester.
All profits will be donated to the Hummingbird Centre, a cancer support and therapy centre in Launton that supports anyone on a cancer journey and their loved ones.
The organisers have often found that our pantomime is the first introduction many children have to live theatre, and as such, they ensure the show is suitable for all ages and hope to attract as many local families as possible. Not only does it help us raise money for good causes, but it is also a fantastic opportunity to keep your children entertained over half term.
To help local families with the cost of living, the organisers have tickets on sale from Friday, 11 October, with family discounts available for all performances. They are also offering a 10% discount if tickets are booked before 31 October – use the code EARLYBIRD at the checkout.

The Thursday morning performance will be a “Relaxed Performance”, aimed at those who might require a more relaxed environment. The show will be exactly the same but will have some adaptations like low lighting, low music and open auditorium doors.
You can pre-order your programmes as well as pre-show and interval refreshments (including hot and cold drinks, snacks and ice creams) when you purchase your tickets.
Doors open 45 minutes before the show, so come along and enjoy a drink before the show begins.
You can buy tickets (if available) up to two hours before each performance starts. After that time, please come on the door and our Front of House team will accommodate you if there is space.
Accessible seating:
There are 12 accessible step-free seats at floor level at the front of the auditorium for every performance. These seats will have freestanding chairs, which can be removed to create space for wheelchairs if needed. All other seating is tiered, and accessed via steps.
The performance hall is approximately 170 meters from the car park. If you have any questions or access requirements, or require a disabled drop off point closer to the hall please contact the organisers on tickets@launtonvillageplayers.org.uk or speak to the Car Park Marshalls on the day.
