Oran Mor Announces Summer Panto 'Big Bad Riding Hood'
Big Bad Riding Hood runs 1 - 19 July
Oran Mór is delighted to announce that its iconic lunchtime pantomime will return for Summer 2026, running from 1st-19th July, with tickets on sale now.
From the award‑winning team behind the world‑famous A Play, A Pie and A Pint, this year's sunshine‑soaked spectacular is Big Bad Riding Hood, a brand‑new riotous panto written and directed by Gary McNair, with music by Brian James O'Sullivan.
This summer's cast features a powerhouse ensemble of Oran Mór favourites and rising stars: George Drennan, Jo Freer, Tyler Collins, Jamie Marie Leary and Cole Stewart - bringing their trademark mischief, musicality and comic chaos to the stage.
After yet another long, wet summer in Panto Land (because of course), morale is low across the kingdom. But on the edge of Woodlands Road, Gran refuses to let the dreich weather win. She's perfectly content with her cosy wee house, her two grandsons - Peter and Boy - and her prized sheep. And with her granddaughter Little Red visiting for the first time in years, what could possibly go wrong...quite a lot, as it turns out.
Join us for a lunchtime panto bursting with mayhem, music and belly laughs - a show guaranteed to make you huff, puff and laugh your heads off.
As always, every ticket includes a pie (or vegan sausage roll) and a pint, making this one of Glasgow's best‑value summer outings.
Dave Robertson General Manager of Oran Mor said:
"The Òran Mór Panto is always a highlight of our year, and bringing it into the summer sunshine feels like pure joy. We're thrilled to welcome Gary back at the helm, along with our brilliant cast and creative team, and to introduce some fantastic new faces too. Summer is when Glasgow comes alive, and we can't wait to welcome thousands of theatregoers through our doors for a season of big laughs, big characters and even bigger fun."
