Oakengates Theatre @ The Place will soon be filled with action, adventure, myths and merriment this year as the pantomime rolls into town.   

This year’s production of Robin Hood and the Babes in the Wood has never been seen before, with London pantomime producers Paul Holman Associates writing a show especially for Oakengates Theatre and the Telford Audiences.  There will be new characters, modern music and creative choreography, all combined with some familiar faces who have been a hit with past panto audiences at the theatre.  Robin Hood and the Babes in the Wood will be enthralling children and adults alike this Christmas with various matinee and evening performances from 8 December to 2 January.

 There is also a BSL Signed Performance on Wednesday 28th December at 6.30pm and a Audio Described Performance on Thursday 29th December at 6.30pm  There are a limited number of headsets for the Audio Described Performance so please book soon to avoid disappointment.

To book either of these performances please contact the Box Office on 01952 382382 and inform them that you wish to attend one of these shows.  Tickets for the pantomime are on sale now and can be purchase by calling the box office on 01952 382382.  More information on the pantomime and other shows at The Place is available on the website www.theplacetelford.com
