Families are being invited to fly away to Neverland this Christmas as Peter Pan on Ice arrives at Bath Forum for a spectacular festive production featuring world-class skating, aerial performances and two stars of Dancing on Ice.
Running from 23 December 2026 to 3 January 2027, the show will transform the Forum stage into a sheet of real ice, bringing JM Barrie’s much-loved story to life through breathtaking skating, theatrical storytelling and spectacular special effects.
Audiences will join Peter Pan, Tinker Bell and the Lost Boys on an adventure filled with mischievous pirates, daring battles and the villainous Captain Hook, with the ever-present ticking crocodile adding to the excitement. Combining high-speed ensemble skating with aerial flight, humour and colourful costumes, the production promises a magical experience for the whole family.
Dancing on Ice stars lead the cast
Taking on the role of Peter Pan is Joti Polizoakis, a three-time German national ice dance champion who represented Germany at the 2018 Winter Olympics. His impressive career also includes performances with Disney On Ice and Holiday On Ice, as well as winning the German version of Dancing on Ice in 2019.
For Joti, playing the boy who never grows up is a particularly special opportunity, bringing together his passion for skating and a story that captured his imagination as a child.
“This is more than a role – it’s the story I dreamed of skating as a child,” said Joti.
Joining him as Tinker Bell is British skater Molly Lanaghan, who won ITV’s Dancing on Ice in 2025 alongside Coronation Street actor Sam Aston. A former British pairs champion, Molly has competed internationally and performed in productions across the UK, Canada and the USA.
Her experience combines competitive skating with theatrical performance, making her an exciting addition to the production.
“For me, skating has always been about storytelling, connecting with people and bringing characters to life,” said Molly.
A festive adventure for the whole family
With its combination of familiar characters, thrilling skating and magical storytelling, Peter Pan on Ice offers families a different way to enjoy one of the world’s best-loved children’s adventures during the Christmas holidays.
The production is suitable for all ages, with daytime and evening performances available throughout its Bath run. A relaxed performance will also take place at 11am on Boxing Day, Saturday 26 December, with reduced sound levels, lighting adjustments and a more flexible auditorium environment for visitors who may find a traditional theatre performance overwhelming.
Tickets range from £10 to £48.50 before booking fees, with a family offer providing a 10% saving when purchasing four full-price tickets in selected seating bands. Concessions are also available for certain performances.
Peter Pan on Ice runs at Bath Forum from Wednesday 23 December 2026 to Sunday 3 January 2027. For performance times, tickets and further information, visit the Bath Forum website.
