One of our Christmas traditions is to go to a family pantomime. We are really fortunate as we have a splendid theatre in the town where we live, there are some great Christmas Pantomime in Surrey. We normally visit between Christmas and New Year although the pantomime season can last a lot longer than that. There are lots of reasons to visit a panto, there is something about the audience participation, laugh-out-loud comedy, spectacular scenery and breathtaking special effects. It is such a great day out for th entire family.
There are lots of choices when it comes to Pantos in Surrey. If you are aware of any Pantomimes in Surrey that have missed. Then please let me know in the comments below and I will add them to the list. Likewise, when this post went live at the end of November there were still tickets available for all the Christmas shows mentioned. However many do sell out so if you come across ones this festive season that have then let me know and I will update the post.

Here is the wide choice of Pantmomines in Surry this year. Including Pantomimes in Guildford and Pantos in Kingston. Where there is a recommended age range I have included this in the description.
