Bonsall Players

14/04/2026

After many fantastic years of bringing pantomime to our community, Bonsall Players have made the decision to take a short break from our annual panto in 2027.

This pause will give us time to refresh, explore new ideas, and focus on a range of smaller events and fundraising activities throughout the year. We’re really excited about trying a few different things and continuing to bring people together in new ways.

Bonsall Players has always been about community, creativity, and having fun, and that’s not changing. We’re very much still here — just taking a little time to regroup and come back even stronger.

We’re already looking ahead and can’t wait to return with our next pantomime in 2028.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support — it means the world to us 💛

What a week it’s been… OH YES IT HAS!!!

Since Wednesday it’s been one huge WOW moment! The crowds have been absolutely incredible — the heckling has been top tier (we heard you at the back! 😉), and Saturday afternoon… those kids’ screams?! We were completely lost for words. You were AMAZING… OH YES YOU WERE!!!

Because of you lovely lot, we’ve raised a whopping £2,000 for the school and £1,000 for Ashgate Hospice. How brilliant is that?! Give yourselves a big cheer!!! 👏👏👏

We are so grateful to every single one of you who came along, shouted “It’s behind you!”, booed the baddie, cheered the goodies and threw yourselves into the fun. You’ve made this year’s panto one to remember.

A massive thank you to the wonderful Darren for coming to film for us again — he’s brilliant… OH YES HE IS!!! The panto will be available to purchase after 9th May for anyone who missed out (don’t worry, we won’t tell the villain 😉).

So with that… here are some fab photos from our panto journey.

From all of us — THANK YOU for the laughs, the noise, the love and the magic. Same time next year? 🎭✨
