A LION, a witch and a wardrobe walk into a bar.

The bartender asks what they’re having.

The Witch replies, “Narnia business.”

And believe us, there’s no business like Narnia business! The Ilkley Playhouse auditorium has been packed with theatregoers of all ages enjoying a little festive fantasy as they are wowed by our seasonal spectacular The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. But fear not, you too can be transported to Narnia as there are still a few, precious tickets available for this wonderful production. With its stunning scenery, enchanting music and gorgeous costumes, it is brimming with Christmas magic. Don’t miss out – book now.

Do you know someone who might love to visit Narnia but needs a more relaxed environment? Well, at 2.30pm on Saturday, December 17, a little extra magic will take place making Narnia and the experience of theatre more comfortable and enjoyable for these theatregoers and their families. Our Relaxed Performance of the show will feature light in the auditorium, quieter sound effects, a relaxed attitude to audience noise and movement and a “Quiet Zone” for anyone needing a little space during the performance. More information can be found on our website.

Christmas shopping getting you down? Ilkley Playhouse vouchers could be the answer – and can be put towards any production in current season! Simply call our Box Office and give someone you love the gift of theatre this year.
