Important update for our upcoming pantomime Peter Pan
Following the sudden closure of the Whitchurch Civic Centre, while it is checked for RAAC we have unfortunately had to postpone our Pantomime Peter Pan, which is now scheduled to open on Wednesday 28th February 2024. All tickets will be transferred to the same day, if you wish to change or cancel your booking, please contact us waodsboxoffice@gmail.com While naturally we are disappointed that we won’t be presenting our Panto this Christmas, it will prove a fantastic start to our 100th year anniversary. In the meantime, we are looking forward to reviving another WAODS tradition our Christmas Concert – “Mulled Wine & Mince Pies” which will take place at the Talbot Theatre, Sir John Talbot School on Saturday 16th December at 6pm and Sunday 17th December at 3pm. The concert will feature a selection of favourite Christmas songs as well as one or two that you may not have heard before; of course, being a WAODS concert it would not be the same without the odd show tune. Tickets are £12.00 and Concessions £10.00, which includes a glass of mulled wine (soft alternative) and a mince pie in the interval, they can be purchased via the Box Office Tab above or in person from Gallery Flowers or Crafty Birds. Taking place just a week before Christmas Day what a perfect way to start the final countdown to the big day, with Song, Festive Cheer, Fairy Lights, Candles, Christmas jumpers and maybe a little snow, book your tickets now
