Written by Fraser Boyle, co-writer of The Gaiety’s 5-star panto hits Mother Goose (2024) and Cinderella (2023).

Less the Far East, more the very, very far East of Ayrshire, the Ancient McMinger Dynasty rule the land from their seat of power in Old New Cumnock Town. Aladdie’s adventures catapult him into deep trouble he can’t get out of alone – thank goodness then for family – and an Ayrshire family at that!

Will Aladdie ever win the hand of Princess Destiny? Will Abanazar rule the land as the greatest Magician the world has ever known? And will Widow Twunkey ever manage to scrub the Royal Smalls to Empress Oonagh McMinger’s most exacting standards?

Magic, mayhem, mischief and even Maybole abound in this re-telling of an old tale – this isn’t Aladdin. It’s Aladdie!

**Further dates to be announced – full performance schedule available January 2025.

Och Aye Spy - Museum Hunt for Young Explorers

An illustration of Tiny Tam, a cute cartoon mouse, on a sandy beach with the ocean and a sailboat in the background. Tiny Tam is wearing yellow sunglasses, a blue-striped beanie with a pompom, and orange shorts. He has a pink flamingo-shaped inflatable ring around his body. To the left, a colourful beach ball rests on the sand. Behind him, a large postcard with a red and blue border reads "Wish you were here!" in a playful font, with a stamp in the top right corner that features a tiny mouse illustration. The scene has a bright and cheerful summer vibe.
