The cast features old and new faces to play the various characters. The evil money-grasping Sheriff of Nottingham (April Saunders) plans to use his henchmen (Charlotte Gale) and (Jackie Pearson) to dispose of the Babes (Mia Lucas & Poppy Lacey) and plans to marry off Maid Marion (Molly Watts) to the wretched Sir Justin de Bieber of Belper (Chris Gale) . His plans are thwarted by the gallant Robin Hood (Chloe Arbury) with the help of his Merry Men and the Babes’ Nurse (Lee Brandrick) helped by Bo-Bo the Bear (George Watts).

Choreography is arranged by Lynne Byrne and musical direction comes from the stalwart Bill Templeman.

Audiences are promised fun, laughter and a variety of songs with lots of audience participation - oh yes there is!

Tickets are £6 for adults and £3 for children and may be obtained by calling Bev Oates on 582154 or by e-mailing [email protected]
