On tour with D&E Coaches and Sleeping Beauty's Good Fairy

All aboard as Donald Mathieson, Managing Director of our returning pantomime sponsor D&E Coaches, welcomed our returning panto fairy, Laura Blair, on a sightseeing trip around Inverness last week. Check out the photoshoot of their day!

Donald and Laura head off on open-top tour of Inverness with D&E Coaches’ Citytours bus

Laura Blair delighted audiences as the cheeky Tinkerbell in Eden Court’s 2022 production of Peter Pan and is excited to have her wings back as the Good Fairy in Sleeping Beauty (Wed 6 Dec 2023 – Sun 7 Jan 2024). Look out for more cast announcements coming soon.

With a touch of magic, Laura grants Donald a new head of hair…too bad it’s invisible!

For Donald and D&E Coaches this is their fourth pantomime as main sponsor - from Beauty and the Beast to Cinderella and Peter Pan. Donald has been smooched by the Dame, given driving lessons to Peter Pan and now shown this year’s Good Fairy the sights of Inverness. Donald said:

I am thrilled that D&E Coaches is part of the action again with Sleeping Beauty. Eden Court’s pantomime is part of Christmas for my family and so many people across the Highlands. I’m looking forward to seeing Laura weave her magic on stage this December!
