Wycombe Swan panto 2026 is Peter Pan, 11 Dec to 3 Jan, from £16.50 with £2 off for under 16s and over 60s. Every date, time, price and dark day.

The Wycombe Swan panto for 2026 is Peter Pan, and it is the one thing on this page that needs no hedging: it is fully on sale and has been since 12 December 2025. On 6 October 2026 the theatre’s booking page was flagging it as selling fast.

The run is Friday 11 December 2026 to Sunday 3 January 2027, 38 performances, with the cheapest seats starting at £16.50.

La Voix returns for a fourth Wycombe panto, this time as Tinker Bell, alongside the comedian Kev Orkian as Smee. It is produced, again, by Imagine Theatre.

Every performance, and what the cheapest seat costs

The cheap days, and the expensive ones

The pricing is not a flat rate, and the gap between the cheapest and dearest performance is more than double.

The £16.50 performances are opening night, the two weekday evenings in the first week, and the final weekend. Friday 11 December at 7pm, Wednesday 16 and Thursday 17 December at 7pm, and all four shows on Saturday 2 and Sunday 3 January start at £16.50. If price is what decides it, book the January weekend: the show is the same and the seats are less than half the cost of the Christmas Eve matinee.

The dearest are Sunday 20 December, Christmas Eve, and the Saturday afternoon and evening of 19 December, all of which start at £35.

The two 10am schools-style morning performances on Wednesday 16 and Thursday 17 December are priced from £26 and are the only mid-morning slots in the run apart from the 11am on Saturday 19 December.

Wycombe Swan panto 2026 discounts: concessions, family tickets and schools

The prices in the table are full adult prices. The theatre’s own Peter Pan page, read on 6 October 2026, lists five ways to pay less:

  • Concessions: £2 off per ticket for under 16s, over 60s, students and people who are unemployed. Valid on all Standard and Value performances, and ID may be asked for.
  • Family of 4 ticket, which needs at least two under 16s in the party. Also valid on Standard and Value performances, subject to availability.
  • Group rates for parties of 10 or more, 20 or more, and 40 or more, booked through the group enquiry form or on 0343 310 0077. They cannot be combined with any other discount and seat restrictions may apply.
  • Schools: £16.50 per student, with a free teacher for every 10 students, or £19 a head including a 125ml vanilla ice cream (a dairy-free one is available). Only on the two schools performances, 10am on Wednesday 16 and Thursday 17 December.
  • PTA and uniformed group rate on Friday 11 December at 7pm, the 5.30pm shows on Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 December, and the 7pm shows on Wednesday 16 and Thursday 17 December. Book on 0343 310 0077.

Priority Live members, the Swan’s paid membership, also get £2 off on opening weekend and Value performances. The theatre does not say which dates count as “Value”, so the safe reading is that the cheapest-priced performances in the table are the ones to try a concession on first.

The five days it does not run

There is no performance on Monday 14, Tuesday 15 or Friday 18 December, on Christmas Day, or on New Year’s Day. The 18 December gap is the odd one, a dark Friday in the middle of a selling week, so do not assume the run is continuous when you are picking a date.

The last performance of the run is 5pm on Sunday 3 January 2027.

Access performances

Trafalgar Entertainment, which runs the Swan, lists audio described, BSL interpreted, captioned and relaxed performances among the access formats it offers. On 5 September 2026 the Peter Pan page did not tag any specific date as one of those, and the performance list on the page loads in the browser rather than in the published data, so we could not confirm the dates. Ring the box office on 0343 310 0060 if you need one, and we will add the dates here once they are published.

Getting there and parking

The Wycombe Swan is on St Mary Street in the middle of High Wycombe, a short walk from the town centre and about 10 minutes from High Wycombe station.

The Wycombe Swan car park is one of the council car parks the authority now recommends since Easton Street multi-storey closed permanently. Its tariff has a cliff worth knowing about: £4.30 up to six hours, then £10.30. A 1pm matinee and a meal afterwards can tip you over it. Every charging car park in High Wycombe costs £1.30 all day on Sundays and bank holidays, which makes the Sunday performances the cheapest day to drive in.

Full tariffs and the free car parks in the district are in our parking guide, and the roadworks and travel page covers any closures live on the night.

What else is on at the Swan this season

The Swan’s autumn programme includes Twelve Angry Men from 13 October, Ceilidh the Musical on 18 November and The Choir Of Man on 24 November, before the panto opens.
