The Pavilion programme begins with Tony Hadley on Monday 16 November, followed by the Royal Marines festive concert on Thursday 26 November and the Christmas Cracker Concert on Thursday 17 December.

Aladdin will run at the Pavilion from Saturday 5 December to Sunday 3 January 2027, with James Cartwright playing Abanazar and Kristel Herrera appearing as Princess Jasmine, and the cast also includes Noel Brodie and Jamie Steen as Wishee Washee and Widow Twankey.

Two relaxed performances and one captioned performance are also planned for the pantomime, while the Pavilion will host a New Year's Eve Gala Dinner Dance on Thursday 31 December 2026 as the venue marks the end of the year.
