The production and announced cast
Producer Imagine Theatre announces Jack P. Shepherd alongside John Evans, Han and Fran, Simon Nehan and Corrine Cherish. The fairy tale centres on the curse of Carabosse and the princess’s enchanted sleep, with the venue promising music, a dame and slapstick comedy. This is a pantomime, rather than a visiting ballet version of the same story.
Dates, tickets and booking
Book from Venue Cymru’s event page into its official ticketing calendar. The summary does not quote one universal starting price; it says ticket prices include a £1.50 administration fee and £1 theatre levy. Check your date, seating area and basket total. The box office number is 01492 872000.
Check performance times and book with the official venue.
Accessible performances and seating
The venue lists a BSL-interpreted and audio-described performance on 28 December at 5pm and a relaxed performance on 30 December at 1pm. Confirm the particular service and suitable seats with the box office. A relaxed performance and an interpreted performance serve different needs, so choose the option that suits your party.
How to get to Venue Cymru
By car: from junction 19 of the A55, follow the A470 towards Llandudno and then the brown Venue Cymru signs. Use LL30 1BB. A council pay-and-display car park is behind the building, with accessible bays near the main entrance; spaces cannot be guaranteed at busy times.
By rail: the venue describes a walk of around ten minutes from Llandudno station. Its suggested approach follows Vaughan Street onto Mostyn Broadway, continuing past the swimming centre to Venue Cymru. Check whether your train goes into Llandudno itself or requires a connection from Llandudno Junction.
By bus: services stop behind the venue near the car park. The venue identifies routes towards Rhyl and Bangor among the options, but check the current operator timetable, particularly for Sundays and festive dates. Parking tariffs and permitted payment methods should be checked on the current signs.

Planning your visit
If you are staying in Llandudno, compare the promenade walk with a taxi for the return journey after dark. Families travelling from elsewhere should check the connection and final train as well as the outward service. Avoid a tight restaurant booking immediately after the show until the theatre confirms its expected running time.
