The show will be available on CBeebies and on BBC iPlayer with dates to be confirmed, usually around mid December.
Representing Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture
This year, the CBeebies Christmas Panto will take inspiration from the host city to represent aspects of Bradford culture in the performance, set and music.
The stage set design was inspired by the city’s distinctive Yorkshire sandstone and architecture.
The show is set around the Mirror Pool - the UK’s largest urban water feature, located in the centre of Bradford - a place that brings people together and hosts many of the city’s cultural events.
One of the musicians is a local Bradford dhol drum player. Bradford brings an eclectic mix of cultures, music, and sounds that helped inspired the music of the show.
The team behind the CBeebies Christmas Panto worked with Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture New Voices group to put together a creative day to input and help inspire the story.
