Robin Hood Pantomime

Robin Hood Pantomime

Exclusively for the 21 Together Community:

Robin Hood Pantomime!

SOLD OUT

Following the HUGE success of the Puss in Boots panto last year, we are very excited to share with you that we have tickets available for a private showing of Robin Hood!

This showing has been booked out exclusively for the 21 Together community, creating an environment where everyone is comfortable, knowing the people around them.

This has been made possible once again by The Rotary Club of Medway. We want to give a huge thanks to them for making this possible and continuing to support our charity!

What’s the story?

The fine folk of Sherwood Forest are terrorised by the mounting taxes imposed by the wicked Sheriff of Nottingham who’ll stop at nothing to seize the throne of England and claim the fair Maid Marian as his bride. Only the outlaw, Robin Hood, and his band of Merry Men can save the day. With the help of the hapless Silly Willy and his not so glamorous mother, Nanny Fanny, can Sherwood be saved from the Sheriff’s clutches? Or will they be left all aquiver?

🗓️Saturday 17th January 2026

🕓16:00

📍The Oasthouse Theatre, Stratford Lane, Rainham, Kent ME8 8AG

🎟£7 per family

Photos will be taken at the event. It is your responsibility to let staff know at the start of the performance if you do not wish to be in them.

Mother Goose Pantomime SOLD OUT

Mother Goose Pantomime SOLD OUT

Exclusive for the 21 Together Community- Private showing of Mother Goose

We are very excited to share with you that we have on offer a private showing of Mother Goose in pantomime.

This showing has been booked out exclusively for the 21 Together community, meaning it will be just us in the audience. Creating an environment where everyone is comfortable, knowing the people around them.

This has been made possible by The Rotary Club of Medway, who have booked out this showing for us. We want to give a massive thanks to them for making this possible for our community

The show is scheduled for 16:00 on Saturday 27th January 2024. This time slot gives time for people who are attending S-Club to reach the venue after their session ends.

Fairy Starlight is just out of fairy college and wants to reward goodness. Mother Goose is a prime candidate, so she sends her a goose that lays golden eggs. But the Demon King thinks that nobody can be that good and bets that everyone has their price and sets out, along with nasty Squire Squint, to obtain the goose.

Tickets are £7 per family (refundable deposit)
