Forthcoming performances:

The New Rope String Band
The New Rope String Band: Pete Challoner, Tim Dalling, Jock Tyldesley and Vera van Heeringen have toured successfully across Cambridgeshire and we are pleased to welcome them back. Playing a big assortment of things and all sorts of
hoedown pan-celtic old-timey up-beat down-home music, they combine bizarre physical nonsense and clowning about… and singing… and dancing. Boundless energy, exuberant spectacles
and beautiful music executed with kindness.

…it was evident that those who thought they'd come mainly for the fun found themselves caught up in the music; and those who came mainly for the music yielded willingly to the frolics
John Hepworth

Hansel & Gretel
Desperate times call for desperate measures! When food is short and there are mouths to feed, something has to give. When Mum and Dad leave the kids in the woods there turn out to be more
questions than answers:

Will the woodcutter turn out to be a man or a mouse?
Will Hansel & Gretel ever find their way back home?
Will the future be free-range or oven ready?

Find out the answers in Mike Kenny’s sparkling adaptation of this familiar tale – a great night out for a family audience.

Suitable for general audiences

Tues 6 January 2009 – Wimblington Parish Hall
