Here is your preview of what to expect from Camelot: A Knight To Remember!

The kingdom of Camelot is in turmoil.  King Arthur has died and, despite her best efforts, Queen Qwynydd Dear has been unable to find a new husband in time to save the monarchy.

The Knights of the Rowdy Table are next to useless and the evil Morganna (Arthur’s half sister) is waiting, ready to snatch the crown.

The only thing that is standing in her way is Lester The Jester.  He’s always wanted to be a knight, and now is his chance.  Assisted by the Knights themselves, Merlin the Magician, Harriet and Lester journey to find the mystical Lady of the Lake, who can lead them to Excalibur, and attempt to save Camelot from the wicked Morganna.  There is just one problem.  The Lady of the Lake is on her holidays in Orlando, and she’s left things in the not so capable hands of her cousin.

It’s now a race against time through the dark and creepy forest, dodging the ghosts along the way.

Join the Hawarden players at the 2018 pantomime to find out who will reach Excalibur first and win the crown of Camelot

Performances take place at the Hawarden Institute on Saturday 20th January at 3.00pm and 7.30pm, Friday 26th January at 7.30pm and Saturday 27th January at 7.30pm.

Camelot: A Knight To Remember will be our chairperson, Fiona Burdsall’s fourth consecutive self scripted pantomime for performance by the Hawarden Players.

Every year her scripts are praised for their plot, characters and for how much fun the provide audience members.  We are certain this year will be no different!

Here is the trailer for Hawarden Players’ production of Agatha Crusty and the Village Hall Murders, which opens later this week

Tickets are still on sale from our Purchase Page, or can be bought by calling the box office – 01244 531085, or by turning up on the door on the evening of performance

Here we are, with just a few days to go!

The final touches are being put together on the group’s latest production.

The Hawarden Players are in their final few rehearsals before performances of their upcoming whodunnit ‘Agatha Crusty and the Village Hall Murders’ start on Thursday, at the Hawarden Institute.

The play, directed by Denise Garland, tells the story of crime novelist Agatha Crusty (Pronounced Croo-sty) arriving in the usually quiet village of Chortleby for a break, only to discover some suspicious goings on centred around the All Saints Village Hall, and its committee members.

From Toby, the Vicar, and Eleanor, Chair of the committee, to Harry Knott the caretaker and identical twins Olivia and Oliver Truscott-Pratt, there are plenty of suspects. And with an investigating officer as incompetent as D.I. Twigg, there are plenty of laughs as the murders begin to pile up.

The production has the perfect mix of twists, turns, red herrings, laughs and surprises that it is bound to appeal to all who think of themselves as a local Inspector Morse or Miss Marple, all while providing an evening of great entertainment.

Performances take place Thursday 20th, Friday 21st and Saturday 22nd July at the Hawarden Institute at 7.30pm.

Tickets are available by clicking this link by calling 01244 531085, or on the door.

Tickets are now on sale for Hawarden Players’ next show: Agatha Crusty and the Village Hall Murders!

Agatha Crusty (pronounced Croosty) is a crime novelist. She’s also pretty adept at solving crimes. And when her sister-in-law Alice invites her to spend a few days with her in the village of Chortelby, it’s not long before she gets caught up in a series of murders which seem connected with the village hall.

From Toby, the Vicar, and Eleanor, Chair of the committee, to Harry Knott the caretaker and identical twins Olivia and Oliver Truscott-Pratt, there are plenty of suspects. And with an investigating officer as incompetent as D.I. Twigg, you can guarantee it won’t be a breeze catching the culprit.

The Hawarden Players will be giving you an evening filled with both hilarity and suspense as the tension increases, as does the body count!

Performances will take place on Thursday 20th, Friday 21st and Saturday 22nd July 2017 at the Hawarden Institute.  Doors and bar open at 7pm and the show starts at 7.30pm.

Tickets are on sale now, priced just £7 from this page
