The charity players present...

dad's Army

"Don't tell him, Pike!"

The Charity Players are delighted to bring the much-loved British comedy Dad's Army to the stage this October.

Join Captain Mainwaring, Sergeant Wilson, Corporal Jones, Private Pike and the rest of the Walmington-on-Sea Home Guard as they do their best to defend Britain with plenty of mishaps, misunderstandings and classic British humour along the way.

This special stage production brings together three memorable stories from the original BBC television series: Deadly Attachment, where the platoon are tasked with guarding German U-boat prisoners; Mum's Army, in which the women of Walmington-on-Sea decide it's time they played a bigger role in the war effort; and The Godiva Affair, where a wartime fundraising event soon descends into the sort of chaos only the Home Guard could create.

Packed with nostalgia, unforgettable characters and timeless comedy, this is a wonderful evening of entertainment for audiences old and new. Join us this October and enjoy three classic Dad's Army adventures brought to life on stage.

The charity players present...

the village of traitors

Do you have what it takes to uncover the truth?

Join The Charity Players this Halloween for a brand-new interactive evening of mystery, deception and fun. Work together as a team to complete challenges, gather clues and decide who you can trust… because hidden amongst you are traitors determined to stay undiscovered.

Inspired by the style of popular social deduction games, every decision matters. Form alliances, debate your suspicions and vote carefully, as one wrong choice could hand victory to the traitors.

With a spooky Halloween atmosphere, plenty of twists and turns, and a delicious jacket potato supper included in your ticket, The Village of Traitors promises an unforgettable night of laughter, suspense and betrayal.

Will your team expose the traitors... or will deception prevail?

  • 30th - 31ST october 2026

  • Tickets £16 Per person
