Join us this Christmas for the second ever Smallthorne Community Pantomime -

Today’s Headlines…Reports of talking cats have skyrocketed in the ST6 area
Fancy technology man and CEO of Trenterprise, Ergo Husk has been spotted booing outside local charities.  And finally, it’s time to prepare for this winters coolest trend, “SHAPE SHIFTING OGRES”. A classic tale of felines in footwear, fairies, rags, riches and a bloke named Keith. 


This pantomime has been co-created by volunteers from St Saviours Church and the Ford Green Team in conjunction with B arts.
