Holybourne Theatre is an amateur dramatic group with over half a century of experience, that puts on a wide variety of productions each year. Starting each year, the pantomime in January and February plays over 3 weekends to packed houses and encompasses all the traditional fun family entertainment you'd expect from a pantomime, with plenty of audience participation and interaction. During spring and summer the Youth theatre showcases its abilities through productions like Alice in Wonderland, Wind in the Willows, Kes, Blood wedding and even Shakespeare! The adult theatre (from 16 years old and upwards) often tackles a challenging autumn production with the likes of "The Crucible" or "My country's good". These shows are often punctuated by the occasional variety show or musical. Whatever your taste, the Holybourne Theatre has something for you.
