Dove Players' Pantomime, and Lunch in the Lion, Debenham - 11th January 2026

It's finally the performances of Dove Players' 2026 pantomime Sing a Song of Sixpence, once again featuring Nosher on drums and Fred on flute in the panto band, Harry in the cast, and Isobel with a small role as "old woman" and as in-character prompter. Isobel's friend Jules and partner Mark have even come down from Wiltshire to see the opening-night performance, so we meet up with them again on Sunday for a pint and a Sunday roast in the awesome Lion pub in Debenham.
