Cinderella – A Magical Pantomime Adventure!
“Buttons! Buttons! Where are you, you silly boy?” If that line rings a bell, then you know something magical is about to happen… That’s right, Bletchfest is bringing the timeless tale of Cinderella to life in a sparkling pantomime full of laughter, music, and fairy godmother magic!
Join us at Bletchingley Village Hall on Saturday 17th January and Sunday 18th January for a weekend of theatrical fun that’s perfect for the whole family. With two performances on Saturday (matinee and evening) and a Sunday matinee, there’s plenty of opportunity to catch the show — but tickets are expected to fly faster than Cinderella’s carriage at midnight!
This production of Cinderella is a true celebration of community spirit — written, performed, and staged entirely by talented individuals from the local area. From the script to the set design, every element has been lovingly crafted by neighbours, friends, and familiar faces who’ve come together to create something truly special.
Expect all the classic pantomime ingredients: a lovable Buttons, a dazzling Cinderella, two outrageously dim sisters, a wicked Aunt, and a fairy godmother with a wand full of surprises. Whether you’re cheering for Prince Charming or booing the baddies, you’ll be swept up in the fun from the very first “Oh no it isn’t!”
The performance times are:
Saturday 17th January: Matinee at 2:00pm Evening at 7:00pm
Sunday 18th January: Matinee at 3:00 pm
Doors open one hour before the performance
With toe-tapping musical numbers, hilarious comedy, and a sprinkle of Bletchfest magic, this is a show that promises to delight audiences of all ages. Plus, there’ll be licensed bar serving liquid refreshments including soft drinks and a chance to meet the cast after the show — perfect for little ones who want to say hello to Cinderella herself!
So dust off your glass slippers, warm up your vocal cords, and get ready to shout “He’s behind you!” as Bletchfest’s pantomime season kicks off in style. Whether you’re a seasoned panto-goer or a first-time visitor, Cinderella at Bletchingley Village Hall is the perfect way to brighten up your January.
