As spooky season creeps in, we’re remembering some of the terrifying villains who’ve graced the PBDS stage over the years!

From the Wicked Witch casting her spells, to Captain Hook plotting his revenge, Gaston hunting down the Beast, and The Knave of Hearts stealing our tarts - our pantos have always had a few tricks, and plenty of treats, up their sleeves!

💬 Who’s been your favourite PBDS villain to watch or play? Tell us below - and don’t forget to give a boo for the baddies! 👻

We’ve had some magical runs of this fairy-tale favourite - all the way back in 1993 and again in 2009! Now, over 30 years later, we’re chasing new dreams as rehearsals kicked off for our 2026 Panto! From past magic to future adventures, PBDS proves no dream is too big when shared with our community. 💫
