The Merry Garrick Panto that really hits the bullseye!
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?
Packed with laugh-out-loud comedy, audience interaction, toe-tapping tunes, dazzling dance numbers, and a fresh twist on a classic tale, ROBIN HOOD promises to be the perfect theatre outing for the entire family.
Whether you're young or just young at heart, this is a magical festive treat you won’t want to miss.

A stage adaptation based on the original BBC Television Series
Created by Richard Curtis, Rowan Atkinson, Ben Elton and John Lloyd
Directed by Charlie Tomlinson
One of TV’s most enduringly popular comedies returns to the Garrick stage, after our memorable production in 2018.
Here, in all of their BAFTA-winning hilarity, are the adventures of the cynical Captain Edmund Blackadder, in his forlorn quest to survive the madness and buffoonery of all who surround him.
The play weaves together moments of uproarious comedy and poignant reflection, exploring the absurdity of war and the indomitable human spirit that persists even in the face of adversity.
With impeccable timing and a stellar cast, “Blackadder Goes Forth” promises an unforgettable evening of laughter, nostalgia, and a fresh perspective on the timeless humour of this beloved classic.
Content Warning: This production contains the use of theatrical haze and smoke, loud explosions and live gunfire.
