Aylesbury Waterside Theatre
WHERE
Aylesbury
What it’s like
Panto and family shows in Aylesbury, a five minute walk from the train station and a short stroll from two car parks.
Panto season and family shows are the main reason you'd end up here, and the theatre makes the evening easy rather than stressful. Aylesbury station is a five minute walk away if you're coming by Chiltern Rail from London Marylebone, and if you're driving there's a multi-storey on Walton Street plus the Upper Hundreds car park close by.
You don't have to plan a big pre-show meal either. There's a restaurant on site, and if you'd rather not queue at the bar in the interval, drinks and nibbles can be brought straight to your seat. That's a small thing but it matters when you've got a fidgety six-year-old and fifteen minutes before the second half.
It's a proper theatre trip rather than a soft play afternoon, so it suits families who are happy sitting through a show rather than kids who need to be up and moving. Beyond that, it's really about whichever production is on when you book, panto being the obvious one to build a family outing around.

Plan your visit
How do we get there?

Can we eat there?
There's a restaurant on site, and you can order drinks and nibbles to be brought to your seat instead of queuing in the interval.
Do we need to book ahead?
Panto and family shows tend to sell out, so it's worth sorting tickets for the date you want rather than turning up on the day.
Is it suitable for a toddler?
It's a sit-down theatre show rather than a play space, so it works best for kids who can settle for a performance rather than very young toddlers.
