Fareham Live Guide: Booking, Parking and What's On
How to book Fareham Live, where to park and what is on this autumn and Christmas, including Jack and the Beanstalk from 11 December 2026.
What is Fareham Live?
Fareham Live is the council-owned theatre and entertainment venue in Fareham town centre that replaced Ferneham Hall. According to the council's Fareham Live page, it is operated by Trafalgar Theatres on behalf of Fareham Borough Council. The page describes a main auditorium seating around 800 people with a fly tower, a secondary performance space, a bar and cafe area, a dance studio and space for community groups. The council's September 2024 car park announcement said the venue would open on 1 October 2024.
What is on at Fareham Live this season?
The venue's own website lists a mix of comedy, music, tribute shows and family entertainment. The autumn line-up includes Auld Pals: An Evening With The Stars Of Still Game on Wednesday 7 October 2026 and A Vision Of Elvis on Friday 9 October. Dog Man: The Musical runs from Friday 23 to Sunday 25 October 2026, which falls in the October half term, and is based on the book series by Dav Pilkey. Operation MI6 is listed for Sunday 8 November 2026.
For Christmas, the pantomime is Jack and the Beanstalk, with performances from Friday 11 December 2026 to Sunday 3 January 2027. Fareham Live lists Anne Hegerty, known for ITV's The Chase, as the villainous Poison Ivy, with panto dame Josiah Eloi returning. The venue describes it as suitable for everyone from age four to 104. Some of the cast also appear at the town's Christmas lights switch-on on 21 November, which is in our events calendar. Performance times and ticket prices are on each show's booking page, so check there before you plan your visit. Read the full listing on the Jack and the Beanstalk page and see all shows on the Fareham Live website.
