Berriew Drama and Music Society has confirmed plans to bring pantomime back to the village stage this winter following its annual general meeting.
The group will present a festive show at Berriew Community Centre on December 10, 11 and 12, 2026, with organisers promising plenty of family fun and community involvement.
Casting will take place in September, with rehearsals running through October and November in the build-up to show week.

While the choice of pantomime is yet to be decided – with an original script even being considered – the society is keen to hear from anyone interested in taking part, whether they are seasoned performers or complete newcomers.
As well as seeking actors for the principal roles and chorus, the group is also looking for volunteers to help with scenery, costumes, prompting, front of house and all the behind-the-scenes jobs that help bring a production to life.
The committee is particularly keen to involve as many children as possible, emphasising the lasting memories and confidence-building that come from taking part in a village panto.
New participants from outside the immediate area are also warmly welcomed, with the society hoping to attract fresh faces, new ideas and a bigger company on and off stage.
The pantomime will be the first in a planned run of productions, with one-act plays and other performances already being discussed for 2027 as the society looks to build on renewed enthusiasm and momentum.
