Get set for an enduring tale of friendship, fortune and fame from Cornwall Playhouse Productions – the powerhouse behind Peter Pan, Jack And The Beanstalk, and Aladdin.
Join local lad Dick Whittington, who dares to dream of a brighter future. Together with his trusty cat companion, our hopeful hero sets out on a quest for the land paved with gold.

Gather your tribe and settle in for this all-singing, all-dancing, unmissable treat for all the family.
Leading the laughs as our Dame? None other than Kernow King himself, Edward Rowe, pulling up his bloomers once more after bringing the house down as Widow Twerkey in last year’s Aladdin. This time he’s Wednesday Whittington – Dick’s formidable mum, a savvy Cornish businesswoman with a rat-catching empire and her sights set firmly on the bright lights of London.
Plus, the creative team behind last year’s Aladdin are back – and now with national Panto award nominations to their name.
