Celebrating 50 years

Plumpton Pantomime Society celebrated a very special 50th anniversary by getting the whole

village involved to perform a pantomime, which they even adapted themselves, and wove their Golden Anniversary into the storyline. They are one of the few societies that specialise only in pantomimes, spending almost all year on all the different aspects and details involved.

Their pantomime this year was a celebration of community spirit and community theatre. It was attended by Regional Councillor, Kay Rowan, District Rep, Susanne Crosby and the NODA President, Graham Liverton (pictured, with some of the cast). Once Upon a Time in Pantoland was performed at the end of January, and was a mash up of all the favourite panto traditions.  All the much-loved characters woven into a completely original fairytale - a perfect way to celebrate their significant milestone.  As well as providing entertainment, the society donate their profits, every year, to various village organisations. Since its inception, they have been able to give well over £35,000 back to the village.
