Holding Court Theatre marks 25 years with Beauty and the Beast panto at Axis Ballymun

Holding Court Theatre is staging its 25th annual pantomime, Beauty and the Beast, at Axis Ballymun from 17 December 2026 to 24 January 2027.

The production, led by Dame Stuffy, will feature the usual festive elements of a Christmas panto – catchy songs, lively dance numbers, daring escapades, magical curses and audience participation.

Both Holding Court Theatre and Axis Ballymun are celebrating a quarter‑century of performances in Ballymun, marking 25 years of family‑friendly theatre in the area.

Ticket prices are €22 for adults and €18 for children, over‑65s and carers. Family tickets cost €75 (one adult and three children or two adults and two children). Groups of 15 or more receive a reduced rate of €16 per ticket, and Thursday performances in January are also €16 each.
