The Pantomime is Back!

After a break of a few years, the famous Hadlow Down Variety & Drama Club Pantomime is returning to the Village Hall — and we’re delighted to welcome it back!

This year’s production is “Dick Turpin”, promising a thoroughly entertaining evening in the grand tradition of panto. Expect plenty of laughs, a fabulous pantomime Dame… and keep an eye out for the pantomime horse!

Dandy highwayman Dick Turpin travels to York pursued by the villainous Judge Mental and his Bow Street Runners, Hand and Cuff.
In York he meets and falls in love with Maggie Micklegate of the Cock and Bull Inn, run by Doris Doolittle and her son Simon.

When Dick reveals he holds a pirate’s treasure map and offers to make them all rich, the adventure truly begins…
Will Judge Mental capture our hero, or will Dick escape once again?

The performances will take place at 7:30pm on 13th & 14th March in the Village Hall.

The pantomime always sells out, so if you haven’t already booked — do get your tickets soon! £12 for adults and £6.50 for under 16s

Come along and support a wonderful local tradition while enjoying a brilliant night’s entertainment.

Now has anyone seen that pesky horse?
