Dick Whittington
5th-7th December 2024
After 5 years, pantomime returns once again to the North Cadbury stage this December. We have relocated the classic tale to Castle Cary as we meet Dick Whittington and his cat, who must overcome the villainous King Rat to become Lord Mayor and win the heart of Alice Fitzwarren.

Relaxed Performance
What is a relaxed performance?
A relaxed performance is a more relaxed and comfortable way to experience a show, especially for people who may find traditional theatre etiquette stressful. Relaxed performances can be beneficial for people with:
-
Chronic pain conditions
-
Babies or very young children
-
Autism
-
Learning disabilities
-
Sensory or communication needs
-
Mental health conditions
-
Neurological conditions
​
What will be doing in our relaxed performance?
-
Technical changes: Lowering the volume and reducing loud effects
-
Lighting: Leaving the house lights on throughout the show
-
Noise and movement: Allowing noise and movement in the auditorium
-
Chill-out space: Providing a quiet place to go if needed located at the back of the hall
-
Visual story: Sending out a visual story via our YouTube channel talking you through the layout of hall, this will be available about a week before the performance. On the day of the performance we will host a pre-show introduction introducing you to the characters and set of our show.
-
Re-entry: Allowing people to leave and re-enter the show as needed
​
We would like to thank the staff at Bristol Hippodrome (ATG Entertainment) & The Octagon Theatre (Westlands Yeovil) for their advice in organising this relaxed performance.
