  • Summer Panto: Pirates Ahoy!
  • Summer Panto: Pirates Ahoy!

Weymouth’s famous summer panto has been a must-do event in Dorset for the past 10 years, and Seadog Billy and the gang can’t wait to welcome you all to their new venue in Lodmoor this August!

It’s all hands on deck as our potty pirates embark on a mission to discover the Temple of Treasure and the riches that lie within – but it won’t be plain sailing, as lots of pirates from around the world join them in a race to the treasure, including the evil Captain Blackhead and his stupid sidekick, Poopdeck Pete! But don’t panic, the Spirit of the Seas will be on hand to sprinkle some sparkle over the Lodmoor Palladium and keep our crew safe from harm! It’ll be up to Seadog Billy, Pirate Poppy and Captain Filibuster to prove their strength and save the day – and they need you too!

At each performance, you can grab the opportunity to become a fully-fledged member of the Saucy Sally crew in our interactive ‘Pirate Academy.’

Join in the fun as our pirate crew get everybody (including you adults!) onboard this summer! Starring the cracking LIAM MELLOR as Seadog Billy, ROBERT SQUIRE as the bumbling Captain Filibuster, ISLA ROSE as the plucky and dependable Pirate Poppy, and TEGEN JONES as the stunning Spirit of the Seas alongside a full ensemble cast, this year’s brand-new adventure is one not to be missed!

‘Pirates Ahoy!’ will feature the usual standard of stunning scenery, colourful costumes, toe-tapping tunes, dazzling dance routines and laughter by the bucketful – so sail over to the Box Office on the website below and get your tickets now!
