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)
