How can I buy tickets?
Tickets for the next show will be available online via
this website, and by telephone.
What are the ticket prices?
Rises in general costs have necessitated a small
increase in ticket prices in 2024, although child tickets
have remained unchanged. But buyers could avoid
the increase by booking an Earlybird ticket , available
only until 10 January.
Because of the significant costs of our online ticketing
platform, we have to maintain the 50p per ticket
booking fee introduced in 2022. So the total prices
for all shows booked after 10 January will be £9.50 for
adults and £5.50 for under 16s.
How can I get involved?
An open meeting is held every year. It’s the perfect time to
join if you want to perform on stage. We are always
looking for help backstage and with front of house, and if
you are interested in those jobs you can usually join any
time. Either way, we always welcome new faces. We’re a
friendly bunch, and being part of the panto is a great way
to get to know new people. Contact us via this website.
We rehearse on Wednesday evenings and, in the weeks
before the shows, on Sundays.
And you don’t have to live in Barkway - provided you can
get to rehearsals! People from all over the area take part.
How can my children get involved?
As you may have seen, the pantomime usually includes lots
of parts for a junior cast. There is no need for children to
come to the open meeting. Recruitment takes place
through local schools - or you can contact us through the
website and the junior cast director will get in touch.

Players
The Barkway Players have now performed 30 annual
shows. Every one has been written in-house by the
Players’ creative team.
Barkway shows feature music, jokes and chances for
audience participation, as you would expect. But the
Players like to think that their slightly quirky ideas, as
well as their approach to songs and dances, mean
they offer something a little bit different from what
you would expect from an average village
pantomime.
