Dick Whittington

Friday 12 December 2025 to Saturday 3 January 2026

Hold on to your cats...ahem, hats, Dick Whittington is coming to Leicester in 2025!

De Montfort Hall and Imagine Theatre are proud to present, Dick Whittington! Dick and his trusty cat are heading for the town paved with gold, good old London!

When Dick realises he is penniless, he sets out on a journey to London, where the streets are reportedly paved with gold. Of course, his trusty cat joins him for this epic journey. While in London, he’ll take on King Rat and his growing army, meet the Fitzwarrens, and have a legendary adventure!

With hilarious jokes, catchy songs, and panto joy for all the family, this festive treat won't disappoint!

Join us for the journey of a lifetime as we take a skip down the road (the M1 to be precise) in this family pantomime.

Star casting to be announced soon!
