Hook Players

The Hook Village Panto for 2026 is Hansel and Gretel, by Alan P. Frayn.

Can Bluebell, the Fairy of the Forest, manage to rescue Hansel and Gretel before they are eaten by Nightshade, the Wicked Witch of the Woods, who is determined to turn the tables this time and finally get her way?

You’ll just have to come along and see. Oh yes you will!

To celebrate our 40th Anniversary, we’ve made this show extra-affordable. Children’s tickets are only £1. Yes, that’s right, you can Bring a Kid for a Quid!! And under-fives are completely free!

So come along  for a fun-packed few hours – there will be a licensed bar, plus tea, coffee and ice-creams in the interval.

Performances are:

Friday 27th November – 7.30pm

Saturday 28th November – 2.30pm and 7.30pm

Friday 4th December – 7.30pm

Saturday 5th December – 2.30pm and 7.30pm

Join in the fun!

It’s not all about being on the stage.

So much goes on backstage including set design, painting and building, making costumes, make-up, sound, lighting and special effects, gathering props or simply helping with the front-of-house on performance nights. If you are interested in getting involved, even if you don’t see yourself treading the boards,  please email . There is something for everyone.

If you can’t get involved this time, then please buy a ticket, sit back and enjoy the show.

Play Readings

We are actively seeking plays for future productions and holding play readings, where members read through possible scripts. If you are interested in attending, please send your details via for more information. These play readings are very informal and you don’t have to read if you don’t want to. It’s a great initial introduction to Hook Players and is a good opportunity to meet the group.
