Taranaki’s most dazzling winter festival is back! Right Royal Cabaret Festival is making its grand return from 12–15 June 2025, bringing four nights of unforgettable entertainment. Expect a bold and brilliant mix of sultry cabaret, dynamic music performances, captivating theatre, and laugh-out-loud comedy. 

The festival kicks off in spectacular style with its hero show, Be Like Billy?, proudly sponsored by Connect Legal—and there’s plenty more to come. The full programme drops in April!

Whether you’re a cabaret lover or just up for a night of fun and mischief, this is one winter event you won’t want to miss!

On behalf of the TAFT staff and board, our heartfelt thanks go out to our festival partners, patrons, and sponsors. Your unwavering support and commitment make it possible for us to deliver the exceptional calibre of performances awaiting us this June.
