The Aberystwyth Arts Centre Summer Show is back!

When Charlie Bucket finds one of the five golden tickets to the Wonka Chocolate Factory, Charlie and the other winners can’t wait to feast on the sweets of their dreams. But beyond the gates, they discover more than just remarkable edible delights. As they embark on an extraordinary journey through Willy Wonka’s marvellous mind, they soon learn that nobody leaves the same way that they arrived…

Based on the iconic Roald Dahl story and directed by Richard Cheshire, this spectacular stage version of Charlie & the Chocolate Factory is brought to life by a professional cast and live band.

This must-see musical follows the hit West End and Broadway productions to combine the memorable songs from the original 1970’s motion picture (‘The Candy Man’ and ‘Pure Imagination’) with all new numbers from the multi award-winning songwriters of Hairspray.

Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is part of Aberystwyth Arts Centre’s Sweet Summer – a whole season of activity from the Arts Centre! Look out for activities and events across Aber and the surrounding areas, encompassing workshops, family and community events, and more local opportunities.
