Brian Conley Leads Goldilocks And The Three Bears Panto Cast In Woking

Christmas has arrived early in Woking, with the town getting its first taste of this year’s huge festive pantomime as a colourful circus celebration took over the theatre and spilled out onto the streets.

Goldilocks and the Three Bears will run at Woking Theatre from 4 December 2026 until 3 January 2027, with Brian Conley leading the cast as Billy Barnum and his daughter Lucy Conley joining him on stage as Goldilocks.

David Robbins will bring the panto fun as Dame Betty Barnum alongside Gary Milner as The Evil Ringmaster, while magician Phil Hitchcock appears as the Magical Mysterioso and roller-skating duo Gina & Lester will also be part of the circus-themed production.

The cast recently gathered in Woking for the show’s official launch before heading through the town centre in a circus procession, giving local families an early look at the characters who’ll be taking over the newly refurbished theatre this Christmas.

The story sees Goldilocks and her circus friends trying to save their Big Top from a rival owner, with three famous bears joining the adventure as the production promises spectacular effects and plenty of comedy alongside some impressive circus action.

Tickets are already on sale for the four-week run, with Brian Conley and the company now preparing to turn Woking Theatre into a giant festive circus this December.
