YOU’LL BELIEVE CINDERELLA IS A BLOKE!

Our creative team is hard at work producing a wonderfully original and zany new pantomime for 2027. And you can be part of it – on stage or backstage!

OPEN MEETING

If you would like to be involved, please come to our open meeting on Wednesday 9 September at 7.45pm at Barkway Village Hall. You don’t have to live in Barkway – provided you can get to regular rehearsals on Wednesday evenings and on Sundays in the new year.

Please revisit this page often in case anything changes.

If you can’t make the open meeting but would like to be involved, send us a message.
