Robin Hood is Coming to The Lighthouse Theatre Kettering This Easter
When most of us think pantomime, we think Christmas — the tinsel, the mince pies, the annual debate over who’s the best dame. But here’s the thing: you don’t have to wait until December to get your panto fix, and this Easter there’s a brilliant reason to grab the kids and head to the theatre.
KD Theatre Productions are bringing their brand new Easter pantomime, Robin Hood, to The Lighthouse Theatre in Kettering on 6th April 2026 — proof that panto season doesn’t have to end when the decorations come down. From the team who brought us last year’s smash-hit The Wizard of Oz, this one promises everything you love about a traditional panto: big laughs, brilliant costumes, toe-tapping tunes and plenty of audience participation. The perfect excuse to shout “he’s behind you” at any time of year.
The Greatest Pantomime Adventure Easter 2026 Tour!
Join Robin Hood and his band of Merry Folk as they outwit the wicked Sheriff of Rottingham, save the townsfolk, and help our hero win the hand of the fair Maid Marion — all in true panto style!
Starring the Fabulous Fanny Galore as the glittering Spirit of Sherwood, alongside Easter panto favourites Ben Parsley (aka the ever-hilarious Silly Billy), Rob Stevens, Terry Burns and Katherine Hickmott, this all-star cast is ready to steal your hearts (and a few laughs too!).
Packed with toe-tapping tunes, dazzling dance routines, side-splitting comedy and audience participation galore, Robin Hood is a feel-good family treat that’s guaranteed to hit the bullseye this Easter.
When: Monday 6th April 2026 Where: The Lighthouse Theatre, Kettering
So if you’ve always thought panto was strictly a Christmas thing, this is your sign to think again. It’s a great way to fill one of the Easter holidays with something a bit different — and the kids will absolutely love it.
