Family time
We have been going to the Pantomime for a few years at the Garrick Theatre Altrincham,as a whole family, and we have never been disappointed. We would rather come here than travel to Manchester. We think they out on a great show, lots of efforts and the costumes look great.

The production of 'It's a Wonderful Life' was outstanding, marked by exceptional performances and expert direction. The experience was further enhanced by a full house and sold-out crowd.

Thanks very much for a lovely review, Jean. We're glad you enjoyed this year's pantomime - make you visit our website to see our special children's show over Easter and the Dinosaurs in Mat 2026 !

Fabulous production of Goldilocks and the three bears. Sat at the back and had a great view. Flirty Girty ooo la la ! was fabulous!
First time there though so wasn’t quite sure what was available during the interval. We bought vanilla ice cream in a tub that was lovely and creamy. Others had different flavours but not sure where they got them from. Maybe me not reading anything beforehand . 🤷♀️

Lovely comments, thanks Lady M. We'll pass your comments to all involved with "Goldilocks" .... especially Flirty Girty.
Before the show, and during the interval, we sell several flavours of ice-cream - as well as chocolates, sweets, water and soft drinks - in the Kiosk (back in the Foyer). During the interval we ALSO sell ice-cream (but only vanilla !) in the auditorium (to try to keep queues at the Kiosk down). We'll make sure our ice-cream sellers in the auditorium remind people that the kiosk has a wide range.
There's something on at the Garrick almost every week of the year; visit our website and browse to see what's coming up. Next time you visit us, get the flavour of ice-cream you want before the show and during the interval ... from the Kiosk !!
An excellent family show
An excellent family show, as always. The cast was fantastic and the scenery superb.
This was our fifth Garrick panto and we can’t wait for next year’s.

Don't forget our other family-friendly upcoming shows : Dinosaur Live soon, The Railway Children over Easter 2026 - for ages 7+, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat next October 2026 - for ages 6+ ... and next year's panto Robin Hood (early Dec 2026 to early Jan 2027) is already on sale !!!

Thanks for the review, Peter. It's A Wonderful Life was sold out for virtually every performance, and achieved a standing ovation most nights. Next on mainstage, our well-known Pantomime, which has already sold out its most popular performances. This year it's Goldlocks and the Three Bears. Thanks for supporting your local theatre !
It’s A Wondeful Life
One of my absolute favourite films, beautifully presented with an amazing cast. Some brilliant improvs tied the story together, with all the emotion and more from the original screenplay.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was AMAZING. We watched last night and loved from start to finish. We watched the Palace in Manchester when it last toured and we enjoyed the Garrick's performance just as much. Charlie and Willy Wonka were brilliant as were the rest of the cast. Great affects and set and lots of energy.
