Due to the ongoing COVID pandemic, we have unfortunately had to cancel all live performances of this year's panto, RED RIDING HOOD. Whilst we are devastated the performances cannot take place in person, we are excited to be able to make the show available to watch online for audiences to enjoy.

With something for everyone, our pantomimes are constantly praised for turning classic stories on their head and making them relevant for our local community and beyond. And this year’s festive treat, RED RIDING HOOD, promises to continue that legacy.
We’re taking you into the deep, dark wood where our red-cloaked heroine soon discovers all is not quite as it seems…
