A wonderfully watery Wellington tale returns in 2022!

Our highly-acclaimed Panto team is back in the new year with a Hans Christian Andersen tale but with a twist … and a bucket fountain full of local references.

Gavin Rutherford returns as our beloved Dame: “Shelly Bay – a poor lonely widow fisherwoman”.

Join us for a Panto overflowing with laughs and toe tapping, tail flapping songs which will be sure to have the whole family leaving with a tune in their heart and a smile on their gills.
