We couldn’t be more thrilled to announce the launch of our brand new Autumn/Winter Programme for 2026. Featuring the return of 2 beloved Cahoots shows, including The Sorcerer’s Apprentice which has just completed its run in Buxton, and is returning to Belfast with ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ from The Guardian. Before the show jets off to The Big Apple, we’re welcoming it home to our theatre in Cityside Retail & Leisure Park from the 10th of October until the 25th of October – you won’t want to miss out what The Guardian called “a truly enchanting showcase of theatrical storytelling”. We are delighted that The Sorcerer’s Apprentice is also featuring as part of the Belfast International Arts Festival this year.
Also returning this Winter is the magical world of The Secret Bookshop, with brand new stories leaping from the pages. If you’ve been before there’s no reason to not join us on these new adventures with The Secret Bookshop Society where you’ll be thrown into new worlds of spellbinding stories, accompanied by familiar faces and new friends.
We’re also incredibly excited to announce our brand new show, The 13 Chairs which is joining The Sorcerer’s Apprentice in this years Belfast International Arts Festival. This haunting Halloween experience, supported by The Leche Trust, is the first of its kind for Cahoots, with an age guidance of 13+. We’ll be taking audiences on a scarier adventure than we ever have before; for fans of The Ghost House and The Traitors, you will not want to miss this immersive experience.
