Here are some production shots from the opening of our fun-filled festive show, Little Red Riding Hood: A Trial.

We had some lovely audiences over the weekend and some great feedback. The show runs until 31st December 2024 and is the perfect treat for the whole family. But don't take our word for it...

"A captivating, funny and very enjoyable show in a lovely venue."

"This is a magical space run by a very friendly team, and the show we saw was so funny my face aches from laughing."

"What a fantastic little venue. Really intimate, leaving you feeling like part of the show!"

"The witty script cleverly mashes up several fairy tales, with excellent performances and creative production. Revelling in traditional panto daftness bordering on the surreal (touches of Vic Reeves' style at times) we guffawed through it."

Tickets available from our website www.thestrawyard.co.uk
