Cinderella

Mansfield’s most magical festive tradition is back for Christmas 2026 - and it’s bigger, bolder and more star-studded than ever.

You shall go to the ball with 2026's sparkling pantomime, Cinderella! 

Grab your friends, family and colleagues, sparkle your slippers and book your tickets before the clock strikes!

Stepping into the iconic crystal slippers is Emmerdale favourite Rosie Bentham, best known for her role as Gabby Thomas. Since joining the long-running ITV soap in 2016, she has become a recognisable face on UK television, earning praise for her engaging and authentic performances. Viewers have watched her character evolve through challenging storylines and her ability to portray the complexities of teenage life and its struggles have earned her admiration. A proud Nottingham native, Rosie returns close to home to bring warmth, charm and a touch of fairytale magic to this rags-to-riches tale.

Rosie says:
“Swapping the Yorkshire Dales for a bit of panto sparkle this year! I’m so excited to be joining Cinderella in Mansfield - especially performing so close to my Nottingham roots. See you all there!”

Cinderella’s wicked stepsisters treat her as their servant. She’s going to need all the magic her fairy godmother can muster if she is to meet her Prince Charming and find true love before midnight. 

With a script by Jon Monie (writer of this year’s production of Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs and winner of Best Script at the Great British Pantomime Awards 2019), this spectacular production will delight with its enchanting story, side-splitting comedy, lavish settings and adorable miniature ponies.

Featuring Mansfield’s favourite funny man, Adam Moss and also back by demand - the unstoppable double act Jamie Morris and Tarot Joseph return as the fabulously outrageous Ugly Sisters. 

Don’t wait for your invitation – get your tickets now and ensure that every member of the family has a ball at Christmas. More fun that you can shake a pumpkin at!
