Monday 29th August - Slap & Tickle

5 – 6 pm

The goofballs who brought you ‘Pinafore in Pieces’ return with another loosely veiled Gilbert & Sullivan spoof (so loose it’s now in bits). Expect dodgy accents, hammy acting and more half baked parodies, with some surprisingly decent singing thrown in to divert attention from the dubious plot. Laugh your socks off and then cry them back on again.

ADULTS ONLY!.

Tickets £7.

Bring your own picnic. Bar – bring a cup or tankard. 

New ticket sales – please bring your own chair.
