Robin Hood, the Gaiety Theatre’s Christmas pantomime for 2026, runs from Sunday, 22 November 2026 to Sunday, 3 January 2027 at the Gaiety Theatre on South King Street, Dublin 2, with performances starting from 1:00pm.
Robin Hood is confirmed on the Gaiety Theatre’s own listings as the venue’s 2026 panto, running across the six weeks of the Christmas and New Year period. Ticketmaster’s listing for the run shows matinee performances at 1:00pm and 1:30pm alongside evening performances at 5:30pm and 6:30pm, with several dates through the run, including part of the opening weekend and the early December matinees, already showing low ticket availability. The Gaiety Theatre has staged opera, musicals, drama, comedy and pantomime since 1871, and the Christmas panto is one of its best known productions, drawing on a cast of Irish entertainers.
Like other Irish Christmas pantomimes, a Gaiety panto blends fairytale storytelling with comedy, music and audience participation, and is aimed squarely at family audiences across the school Christmas holidays and into the January return to school. With performances running most days over six weeks, there is a wide choice of dates for school-holiday visits, weekend outings or a January treat once the decorations come down.
