Script kindly presented in agreement with

This year we move away from the traditional pantomime tales and venture into the unknown, with a hilarious new script by Alex Jackson - a new writer to GADS but one we are sure we’ll see plenty of in the years to come.
Dame Tallulah Tickle runs the local joke shop with her children Tommy and Tilly. But when the Spirit of Pantoland gets kidnapped by the nasty witch Mouldywart, not even the Tickles can get the citizens of Pantoland laughing. Can PC Pete and his trusty police dog Baxter help the Tickles save the day? Will a visit to the Fairy Grandmother give them the answers they seek? Will the characters of Pantoland ever get their happy ever laughter? This is the ultimate pantomime mash-up with much loved characters, and all your favourite pantomime traditions wrapped up in a completely original fairytale.

Link to the seating plans

Wednesday and Thursday shows are usually very busy with several good-humoured groups from the local scouts, cubs, brownies, beavers etc. Either is a great night to come along if you want to support their energetic audience participation. Remember, we now include a Saturday afternoon matinee for those of you with younger children or who prefer a daytime show.

We will be able to take BACS, mobile phone and card payments (in person, but not over the phone) and we still take cash and the occasional cheque.
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday evening shows will start at 7pm. The Saturday performances will start at 1pm and 6pm. Doors will open 30 minutes before the start of each show.

For all shows, booking is recommended.

We will have the usual complimentary programme and light refreshments during the interval and there will also be ice cream on sale during the interval, thanks to Ravenglass Handmade Ice Creams.

We would like to thank all of our helpers, sponsors, supporters and those who have donated raffle prizes.
